Simplified Model for Forward-Flight Transitions of a Bio-Inspired Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
A new forward-flight model for bird-like ornithopters is presented. The flight dynamics model uses results from potential, unsteady aerodynamics to characterize the forces generated by the flapping wings, including the effects of the dynamic variables on

The Energy Benefits of the Pantograph Wing Mechanism in Flapping Flight: Case Study of a Gull [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bird wings generally contain a 4-bar pantograph mechanism in the forearm that enables the wrist joint to be actuated from the elbow joint thus reducing the number of wing muscles and hence reducing the wing inertia and inertial drag.

Structural Analysis of a Dragonfly Wing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Dragonfly wings are highly corrugated, which increases the stiffness and strength of the wing significantly, and results in a lightweight structure with good aerodynamic performance.

On flapping flight of aëroplane [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London, 1899
It has been long known, principally through experiments on soaring, that a large, if not by far the largest, part of the supporting force obtained by birds in regular flight, is probably furnished by upward air pressure on their wings, regarded as planes moving horizontally, with their surfaces slightly inclined to the direction of motion.

Rotational accelerations stabilize leading edge vortices on revolving fly wings [PDF]

open access: yes, 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
