Aerodynamic performance of a bristled wing of a very small insect

Aerodynamic force generation capacity of the wing of a miniature beetle Paratuposa placentis is evaluated using a combined experimental and numerical approach. The wing has a peculiar shape reminiscent of a bird feather, often found in the smallest insects. Aerodynamic force coefficients are determi...
