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...

Research and development of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) aiming at the investigation and the information gathering in the hazard area is now an active field. Flapping flight of insects and birds that are capable to perform precise hovering flight and...
This paper describes the evaluation of aerodynamic performance of insect-inspired flapping wings for MAVs design. The insect-inspired wings are made of stiff leading edges and flexible membranes so as to employ the passive wing deformations due to...
