A review of modelling and analysis of morphing wings

D Li, S Zhao, A Da Ronch, J ** wing robots with foldable or deformable wings: a review
J Zhang, N Zhao, F Qu - Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2022‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Traditional flap**-wing robots (FWRs) obtain lift and thrust by relying on the passive
deformation of their wings which cannot actively fold or deform. In contrast, flying creatures …
