Mechanics and aerodynamics of insect flight control

open access: yesBiological Reviews, 2001
Insects have evolved sophisticated fight control mechanisms permitting a remarkable range of manoeuvres. Here, I present a qualitative analysis of insect flight control from the perspective of flight mechanics, drawing upon both the neurophysiology and ...

The paramyosin of insect flight muscle

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1973
Abstract Paramyosin has been extracted and purified from the flight muscle of the insects Lethocerus cordofanus, Lethocerus maximus (water bugs), Heliocopris japetus (dung beetle) and Pachnoda ephippiata (rosechafer beetle). The subunit molecular weight, estimated by sodium dodecyl sulphate electrophoresis, is 107,000 ± 6000.

Insect flight

This remarkable book offers a portrait of insects unlike any seen before. Using an original lens-based method of high-speed photography inspired by the wraparound vision of the compound eye, it presents 60 stunning images of flying insects. These unique panoramic close-ups take the study of flight out of the laboratory and into the natural environment,

DISSECTING INSECT FLIGHT

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2005
▪ Abstract  “What force does an insect wing generate?” Finding answers to this enduring question is an essential step toward our understanding of interactions of moving objects with fluids that enable most living species such as insects, birds, and fish to travel efficiently and us to follow similar suit with sails, oars, and airfoils.

Evolution and Classification of Insect Flight Kinematics

Evolution, 1995
Classification of the main types of insect in-flight kinematics is proposed here, based on comparative data of wing movement during flapping flight. By comparing the described kinematic patterns with the results of studies of the vortex-wake structures of flying insects, these patterns can be explained as adaptations for overcoming the negative effects
