Some Coleoptera (popularly referred to as beetles) can fly at a low Reynolds number with
their deployable hind wings, which directly enables a low body weight–a good bioinspiration …

Insects are excellent fliers because of their ability to generate precise wing kinematics and
deform their wings for the sufficient production of unsteady aerodynamic forces. Most of the …

Both the transient formation and the stable attachment of leading-edge vortex (LEV)
contribute to the high lift generation of an insect wing when it revolves at high angles of …

The production of wingbeat motion of flapping wing hovering flight are determined by the
actuating, aerodynamic and inertia forces/moments, which influence the dynamic …

In terms of their flight and unusual aerodynamic characteristics, mosquitoes have become a
new insect of interest. Despite transmitting the most significant infectious diseases globally …

Purpose The purpose of this exhaustive experimental study is to investigate the fluid-
structure interaction in the flexible membrane wings over a range of angles of attack for …

Insects have various wing morphologies and flapping systems to achieve a highly
maneuverable performance at low speed. Among unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms in …

Insect wings are highly evolved structures with aerodynamic and structural properties that
are not fully understood or systematically modeled. Most species in the insect order Odonata …

When beetles are not in flight, their hind wings are folded and hidden under the elytra to
reduce their size. This provided inspiration for the design of flapping-wing micro aerial …

The spanwise oscillation provides an accessory or alternative to flapping motion toward high-
efficiency bio-inspired flight. The power factor that measures the efficiency of a gliding wing …
