Rotational accelerations stabilize leading edge vortices on revolving fly wings [PDF]
, 2009 The aerodynamic performance of hovering insects is largely explained by the presence of a stably attached leading edge vortex (LEV) on top of their wings. Although LEVs have been visualized on real, physically modeled, and simulated insects, the physical

Reduced-order modeling of unsteady aerodynamics of a flapping wing based on the Volterra theory
Results in Physics, 2017 Flapping flight mechanisms offers a power-efficient and highly manoeuvrable basis for the development of micro air vehicles. The aerodynamic knowledge and prediction tools of the flapping wing are quite important for the design of micro air vehicles.

How wing compliance drives the efficiency of self-propelled flapping flyers
, 2010 Wing flexibility governs the flying performance of flapping wing flyers. Here, we use a self-propelled flapping-wing model mounted on a ``merry go round'' to investigate the effect of wing compliance on the propulsive efficiency of the system.
