THE potential benefits for insectlike flap** wing micro air vehicles are numerous. The
hovering ability of insects, coupled with the ability for a quick transition to forward flight …

Flap** wing flight has been extensively studied in the field of entomology, resulting in
observations on the methods of lift production, high manoeuvrability and efficient flight for …

A co-simulation strategy for modeling the unsteady dynamics of flying insects and small
birds as well as biologically inspired flap**-wing micro-air-vehicles is developed in this …

A time-varying model for the forward flight dynamics of a flap**-wing micro aerial vehicle
is identified from free-flight optical tracking data. The model is validated and used to assess …

The research and development efforts presented in this paper address the flight dynamics of
a flap**-wing air vehicle (ornithopter). The 74-cm-wing-span ornithopter was equipped …

Aiming at develo** an effective tool to unveil key mechanisms in bio-flight as well as to
provide guidelines for bio-inspired micro air vehicles (MAVs) design, we propose a …

Insects use dynamic articulation and actuation of their abdomen and other appendages to
augment aerodynamic flight control. These dynamic phenomena in flight serve many …
