Model-Based Tracking of Fruit Flies in Free Flight
Insects, 2022 Insect flight is a complex interdisciplinary phenomenon. Understanding its multiple aspects, such as flight control, sensory integration, physiology and genetics, often requires the analysis of large amounts of free flight kinematic data. Yet, one of the

Three-dimensional vortex structure in a wake of a free-flight butterfly
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016 A number of studies on not only the mechanism of insect flight but also the flow field around insect wings have been performed. Especially, a number of recent studies have examined the flow field around insect wings using experimental and numerical ...

Experimental investigation of some aspects of insect-like flapping flight aerodynamics for application to micro air vehicles [PDF]
, 2009 Insect-like flapping flight offers a power-efficient and highly manoeuvrable basis for micro air vehicles for indoor applications. Some aspects of the aerodynamics associated with the sweeping phase of insect wing kinematics are examined by making ...

The bat–bird–bug battle: daily flight activity of insects and their predators over a rice field revealed by high-resolution Scheimpflug Lidar [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 We present the results of, to our knowledge, the first Lidar study applied to continuous and simultaneous monitoring of aerial insects, bats and birds. It illustrates how common patterns of flight activity, e.g. insect swarming around twilight, depend on
