Flapping mechanism design and aerodynamic analysis for the flapping wing micro air vehicle
, 2011 This paper introduces a biological flapping micro air vehicle (FMAV) with four wings, instead of two wings, where wing clap-and-fling of real insects has been mimicked. The total weight is 2.236g.

Effects of deformation and vibration characteristics of wings on flapping flight
Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2015 The dragonfly wing is passively deformed under flapping and has the strength to withstand high flapping frequency simultaneously. These characteristics of deformation and vibration of the wing are important for flapping flight.

Ibis, EarlyView.Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is

The Effect of Spanwise Folding on the Aerodynamic Performance of a Passively Deformed Flapping Wing
BiomimeticsThe wings of birds exhibit multi-degree-of-freedom motions during flight. Among them, the flapping folding motion and chordwise passive deformation of the wings are prominent features of large birds in flight, contributing to their exceptional flight ...
