  • Abstract
    A small flying machine based upon a new mechanism was realized. The flying machine driven by magnetic torque had hard magnetic films as wings and a soft magnetic wire as a body, respectively. The wing has two hinges, which create different drag during up and down strokes, and produced lifting force. Shape magnetic anisotropy of the body stabilized the attitude. The flying machine flew without power supply cables and guides when an alternating magnetic field of more than 400 Oe around 12 Hz was applied
