Insects are able to fly stably in the complex environment of the various gusts that occur in nature. In addition, many insects suffer wing damage in their lives, but many species of insects are capable of flying without their hindwings. Here, we e...

Abstract
Studies on the evolution of avian flight have failed to clarify why wing shape is weakly correlated with flight styles and phylogenetically constrained. Birds seem to have achieved their diverse flight styles owing to changes in the sha...
The utilization of small unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAVs), commonly known as drones, has increased drastically in various industries in the past decade. Commercial drones face challenges in terms of safety, durability, flight performance, and envi...

Inspired by novel mechanisms in insect and bird flights, in particular, the clap-and-fling mechanism associated with the aerodynamic force enhancement owing to the wing-wing interaction, we developed a prototype flapping micro air vehicle (fMAV), ...

In this study we investigated the effect of wing deformation on numerical simulation of aerodynamics of ornithopters. The ornithopter we used had a pair of wings and a tail wing, and is capable to perform forward flight. The wing consisted of a ri...

Research and development of Micro air vehicles (MAVs) with a maximal dimension less than 15 cm have been a very hot topic in the last decade. MAVs are desired to be capable of performing missions such as environmental monitoring, surveillance, and...
