Year: 2007 Cambridge University Press eBooks Pages: 101-158   Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Abstract

Flying animals flap wings to create lift and thrust as well as to perform remarkable maneuvers with rapid accelerations and decelerations. Insects, bats, and birds provide illuminating examples of utilizing unsteady aerodynamics to design future MAVs.
