Experimental investigation of some aspects of insect-like flapping flight aerodynamics for application to micro air vehicles
Invited paper for "Special Issue on Animal Locomotion: The Physics of Flying" (editors: Graham Taylor, graham.taylor@zoo.ox.ac.uk; Michael Triantafyllou, mistetri@mit.edu; Cam Tropea, ctropea@sla.tu-darmstadt.de).
The research this describes won the IMechE Western Aerospace Centre prize, April 2011 (Phillips, http://nearyou.imeche.org/near-you/UK/Western/Western-Aerospace-Centre/prize-history);
Data presented informed the test cases subsequently adopted by the NATO working group AVT202 investigating fundamentals of flapping-wing aerodynamics (contact michael.ol@us.af.mil).
