In the Reynolds number range (1e4 − 1e5) relevant for bat or bird scale flapping wing robots, there is little experimental data, nor appropriate reduced …
It is widely assumed that differences in wing morphology among bat species are reflected by interspecific differences in flight performance, and consequently, in the way …
Numerous animals including fish, whales, dolphins, birds, bats and insects use appendages (fins and wings) with varying levels of flexibility and/or compliance, to provide propulsion …
While a wide variety of active flow control techniques have been developed for rigid wings, membrane wings have generally relied on their inherent passive deformation …
The last decades have brought the miniaturization of electronic components and a proliferation of miniature embedded systems such as Micro and Nano Aerial Vehicles (MAVs, …
