The behavioral flight capacitance, maneuverability and ability of insect's flight in recent years has become an active research that provided biological adaptative inspirations for the design and control of man-made MAVs and NAVs, essentially by identifying, exploiting and understand the basic principles of performance in-flight displayed by the insects. All qualities displayed in an insect flight, are determined by the functional capabilities of its flight muscles to produce force and work at a certain response speed as well as their efficiency in transforming chemical to mechanical energy; such energy is subsequently transmitted to their corrugated wings, were the performances of all flight muscles act and create part of wing's kinematics and deformation, being this the fundamental reason for the displayed maneuvers of all species of flying insects. This paper presents some summary considerations about all flying insects and is focused on the comparative skills displayed by those animals on resemblant flight stages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
