Comparative Study of Wing’s Motion Patterns on Various Types of Insects on Resemblant Flight Stages

Abstract

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.
