“…[ 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 ]. Experiments suggest that for substantial performance, the combination of a flapping phase with a feathering phase is significant in hovering and forward flight [ 92 ]. From the aerodynamic perspective, passive feathering gives lift development the necessary capacity at a very reasonable energy cost [ 93 ].…”

“…When the flapping stroke is reversed, snap-through buckling occurs on the wing surface, producing a fast feathering rotation at the stroke reversal, which enhances the aerodynamic efficiency of the flapping wing through the rotational circulation effect. (9)(10)(11) Table 3 shows the history of the developed wings, which are named in the order of development. The latest model CFN-E is employed in the present drone.…”

“…The waveforms of the feathering angles and camber ratios become trapezoidal rather than sinusoidal; they are more similar to the wing motions of insects (8,14) and enhance the aerodynamic efficiency of the flapping wing. (9)(10)(11) The lift characteristic of the latest model CFN-E is shown in Fig. 9.…”

“…Experimental works on insect's wing motions have been carried out, among others, by Ellington et al [2], Wardsmith [3], Dickinson et al [4,5], Singh and Chopra [6], Nagai and Isogai [7], Okamoto and Azuma [8]. Ellington et al [2] observed the leading-edge vortex (LEV) using smoke visualization around both a real moth and a 3-D model at the Reynolds number of O (10 3 ).…”

“…Singh and Chopra [6] devised an insect-based hover-capable experimental apparatus, and measured the thrust generated by a number of wing designs at different pitch angles. Nagai and Isogai [7] measured time-varying aerodynamic forces on the flapping wing in hovering and forward flight using a dynamically scaled mechanical model in a water tunnel, and examined the effects of wing kinematics on the aerodynamic characteristics of a flapping insects' wing. Also, Okamoto and Azuma [8] conducted wind tunnel tests to examine the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of various wing planforms such as elliptic, rectangular, and triangular with various aspect ratios at low Reynolds numbers.…”
