Many unconventional descent mechanisms are evolved in nature to maximize thedispersion of seeds to increase the population of floral species. The inducedautorotation produces lift through asymmetrical weight distribution, increasingthe fall duration and giving the seed extra time to get drifted away by thewind. The proposed bio-inspired concept was used to produce novel modern podsfor various aerospace applications that require free-falling or controlledvelocity descent in planetary or interplanetary missions without relying ontraditional techniques such as propulsion-based descent and the use ofparachutes. We provide an explanation for the design procedure and thefunctioning of a mono blade auto-rotating wing. An element-based computationalmethod based on Glauert's blade element momentum theory (BEMT) model wasemployed to estimate the geometry by maximizing the coefficient of powerthrough MATLAB's optimization toolbox using the Sequential quadraticprogramming (SQP) solver. The dynamic model was developed for the single-wingdesign through the MATLAB Simulink 6-DOF toolbox to carry out a free-flightsimulation of the wing to verify its global stability.
