In a moving apparatus, flapping angle of a front wing shaft is .gamma.+.DELTA..gamma./2, and the flapping angle of rear wing shaft is .gamma.-.DELTA..gamma./2. Specifically, amplitude difference between front wing shaft and rear wing shaft is .DELTA..gamma.. Further, the flapping motion of front wing shaft is represented by sin (.tau.+.phi./2), and the flapping motion of rear wing shaft is represented by sin (.tau.-.phi./2). In other words, phase difference between the front and rear wing shafts is .phi.. Further, amplitude difference .DELTA..gamma. and phase difference .phi. are each represented by a function using a common parameter. Therefore, a control portion can independently change the amplitude difference .DELTA..gamma. and phase difference .phi., so as to variously change a torsion angle formed by a tip end portion of the wing and a prescribed phantom plane. Thus, a moving apparatus that can make an efficient transition from hovering to forward or backward flight can be provided.
