Aerodynamic forces of revolving hummingbird wings and wing models

Aerodynamic forces of revolving hummingbird wings and wing models

A central challenge to the study of animal aerodynamics has been the measurement of forces generated by flapping wings. Relative to wings of other birds, hummingbird wings are of particular interest in that the smaller species operate in more viscous regimes (5000
