Can scalable design of wings for flapping wing micro air vehicle be inspired by natural flyers? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Lift production is constantly a great challenge for flapping wing micro air vehicles (MAVs). Designing a workable wing, therefore, plays an essential role. Dimensional analysis is an effective and valuable tool in studying the biomechanics of flyers.
