Body rate decoupling using haltere mid-stroke measurements for inertial flight stabilization in Diptera

Halteres, the modified rear wings of Diptera, have long been recognized as sensory organs necessary for basic flight stability. These organs, which act as vibrating structure gyroscopes, are known to sense strains proportional to Coriolis accelerations. While compensatory responses have been demonst...
