Experimental investigation of some aspects of insect-like flapping flight aerodynamics for application to micro air vehicles

Insect-like flapping flight offers a power-efficient and highly manoeuvrable basis for micro air vehicles for indoor applications. Some aspects of the aerodynamics associated with the sweeping phase of insect wing kinematics are examined by making particle image velocimetry measurements on a rotatin...
