Closed-loop turbulence control is a critical enabler of aerodynamic drag reduction, lift
increase, mixing enhancement, and noise reduction. Current and future applications have …

Flying insects are able to hover and perform agile maneuvers by relying on their flapping
wings to produce control forces, as well as flight forces, due to the absence of tail control …

An insect-like tailless flapping wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) without feedback control
eventually becomes unstable after takeoff. Flying an insect-like tailless FW-MAV is more …

It is generally accepted among biology and engineering communities that insects are
unstable at hover. However, existing approaches that rely on direct averaging do not fully …

Radar has been used to study insects in flight for over 40 years and has helped to establish
the ubiquity of several migration phenomena: dawn, morning, and dusk takeoffs; …

For organisms that fly or swim, movement results from the combined effects of the moving
medium—air or water—and the organism's own locomotion. For larger organisms …

There are nearly a million known species of flying insects and 13 000 species of flying warm-
blooded vertebrates, including mammals, birds and bats. While in flight, their wings not only …

Insects can hover, fly forward, climb, and descend with ease while demonstrating amazing
stability, and they can also maneuver in impressive ways as no other organisms can. Is their …

Every fall, millions of North American monarch butterflies undergo a stunning long-distance
migration to reach their overwintering grounds in Mexico. Migration allows the butterflies to …

In the absence of much passive stability, flying insects rely upon active stabilisation,
necessitating the provision of rich sensory feedback across a range of modalities. Here we …
