Piezoelectric energy harvesting from flexible delta wings
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2018 : The potential for harvesting energy from a flexible delta wing using a piezoelectric bimorph is experimentally investigated. Different configurations of the proposed harvesting system were tested in a wind tunnel over a broad range of airspeeds.

3D Flapping Trajectory of a Micro-Air-Vehicle and its Application to Unsteady Flow Simulation
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013 A three-dimensional (3D) trajectory detection framework using two high-speed cameras for the flapping flexible wing of a micro-air-vehicle (MAV) is presented. This MAV, which is called the “Golden Snitch”, has a successful flight record of 8 minutes.
