Ontogeny of aerial righting and wing flapping in juvenile birds [PDF]
, 2014 Mechanisms of aerial righting in juvenile Chukar Partridge (Alectoris chukar) were studied from hatching through 14 days post hatching (dph). Asymmetric movements of the wings were used from 1 to 8 dph to effect progressively more successful righting ...

Research and Test of X-wing Flapping-wing Mechanism Based on the Crank Slider Mechanism
Jixie chuandong, 2023 A X-wing flapping-wing mechanism with wings flapping symmetrically is designed. The crank slider mechanism is adopted to convert the circular motion of the crank into the linear reciprocating motion of the straight shaft, and the straight shaft drives ...

Comparison of Power Requirements: Flapping vs. Fixed Wing Vehicles
Aerospace, 2016 The power required by flapping and fixed wing vehicles in level flight is determined and compared. Based on a new modelling approach, the effects of flapping on the induced drag in flapping wing vehicles are mathematically described.

A linear systems analysis of the yaw dynamics of a dynamically scaled insect model [PDF]
, 2010 Recent studies suggest that fruit flies use subtle changes to their wing motion to actively generate forces during aerial maneuvers. In addition, it has been estimated that the passive rotational damping caused by the flapping wings of an insect is ...

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.
