Close encounters of three kinds: impacts of leg, wing and body collisions on flight performance in carpenter bees
NP Burnett, SA Combes - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 - journals.biologists.com
Flying insects often forage among cluttered vegetation that forms a series of obstacles in
their flight path. Recent studies have focused on behaviors needed to navigate clutter while …

Computationally modeling the aeroelastic physics of flapping-wing flight
RK Schwab - 2023 - scholarworks.montana.edu
Flying insects use flapping wings to achieve flight at minuscule sizes. These flapping wings
deform elastically under both inertial and aerodynamic loading. While conventional aircraft …
