Aerodynamic sound generation of flapping wing
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008The unsteady flow and acoustic characteristics of the flapping wing are numerically investigated for a two-dimensional model of Bombus terrestris bumblebee at hovering and forward flight conditions. The Reynolds number Re, based on the maximum translational velocity of the wing and the chord length, is 8800 and the Mach number M is 0.0485.

Aerodynamics of Soft Flapping Wings of Caudipteryx
2019This study explores the aerodynamic capacity of feathered forelimbs of Caudipteryx, the most basal non-volant maniraptoran dinosaur, with particular focus on flapping during terrestrial locomotion on a flat, horizontal substrate. In order to seek this subject, Caudipteryx and its wings have been modeled theoretically based on measuring the fossil data ...

“Wing-flapping” develops in wingless chicks
Behavioral and Neural Biology, 1979“Wing-flapping” of 13-day-old chicks (Gallus domesticus) that had both wings amputated on the day after hatching was made visible by attaching limb prostheses (soda straws) to the stumps of the amputated wings. Typical drop-evoked, bilaterally symmetrical “wing-flapping” movements of a rate similar to that of the wings of intact control chicks were ...

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2007
Single large-area or 2 small- to moderate-sized raw areas in the hand and forearm are difficult to cover with conventional groin or superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flaps. Though abdomen is a favorable donor site for a pedicled distant flap for soft tissue coverage of the hand and forearm, pedicle flaps based on paraumbilical perforators ...

Flapping wing performance related to wing planform and wing kinematics
12th AIAA Aviation Technology, Integration, and Operations (ATIO) Conference and 14th AIAA/ISSMO Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization Conference, 2012apping wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs), the wing performance is of paramount importance. The wing performance is mainly determined by the wing planform and the wing-beat kinematics. Since the optimization of the wing planform and the wing-beat kinematics is complicated by the apping wing aerodynamics, most FWMAV designs tend to use standard wing ...

Effects of wing morphology on flapping-wing aerodynamics
2018Flapping flight of biological flyers provides great inspiration for the development of micro air vehicles (MAVs). However, the unsteady aerodynamics of flapping flight is to be clarified before MAVs can rival nature. In this dissertation, the effects of wing morphology, including the aspect ratio and the wing flexibility, on the flow development and ...

Liftoff of a 60mg flapping-wing MAV
2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007Up to this point, researchers working to artificially re-create hovering insect flight have not demonstrated an integrated micromechanical device that is able to lift its own weight. Inspiration from biological systems coupled with revolutionary breakthroughs in microfabrication technologies have now enabled the realization of insect- sized micro air ...
