The shape and function of insect wings tremendously vary between insect species. This
review is engaged in how wing design determines the aerodynamic mechanisms with which …

This study investigates the free-turning flight of butterflies (Idea leuconoe) and analyze the
influence of body posture and asymmetric motions of left and right wings on aerodynamics …

The effect of wing shape on a forward-flying butterfly via decoupled factors of the wing-swept
angle and the aspect ratio (AR) was investigated numerically. The wing-shape effect is a …

Flying fish is a family of unique aerial–aquatic animals, which can both swim in the water
and glide over the sea surface. Most previous studies on their aerodynamic characteristics …

Flying insects are impressive creatures due in part to their small size and agile flight
maneuvers. Additionally, butterflies can be highly efficient fliers, as evidenced by monarchs …

The diversity in butterfly morphology has attracted many people around the world since
ancient times. Despite morphological diversity, the wing and body kinematics of butterflies …

Flying insects, with their remarkable abilities, serve as fascinating sources of inspiration.
