Different from birds, bats, flies, and other flying creatures that generate propulsions by
flap** a pair of wings, butterflies with two pairs of wings have their peculiar flight …

To ensure the stability of flight, the butterfly needs to flap its wings and simultaneously move
its main body to achieve all kinds of flying motion, such as taking off, hovering, or reverse …

This paper presents a geometric formulation of the dynamics of a flap** wing aerial
vehicle and utilize it to study the flight dynamics of a Monarch butterfly. The proposed model …

In this article, two main assumptions commonly used in the reported literature are relaxed.
First, instead of a continuous time controller, a discrete time controller is proposed. Second …

The annual migration of monarch butterflies, Danaus plexippus, from their summer breeding
grounds in North America to their overwintering sites in Mexico can span over 4000 …

The incredibly efficient and agile flight abilities of butterflies have become the inspiration for
the design of butterfly-inspired flap**-wing robots, but their intricate flight mechanisms …

This paper presents a dynamic model and a control system for a flap**-wing unmanned
aerial vehicle. Inspired by flight characteristics captured from live Monarch butterflies, a new …

This paper presents a novel flap** wing air vehicle inspired by butterfly, its structure can
be summarized as three parts: the main body, the left wing, and the right wing. The ultra …
