“…68,69 However, in regards to their advantages, panel methods have the limitation of not being able to account for the shape of the wake and may only suitable for cases where pressure forces are dominant rather than viscous. 70 The development of potential singularity distribution on body and wake surface downstream of the wing is depicted in Figure 8. In order to use this approach, the geometry of the wake should be prescribed on the basis of experimental evidence.…”

A review of the aerodynamic modelling of insect flight is presented. This paper consists of two sections covering various aspects related to the development of flapping wing and research on the aerodynamic modelling of insect flight. First, we provide an overview of the nature of the flyers, including current issues and challenges related to the evolution of nature-inspired design. The second section discusses some of the techniques required to develop aerodynamic models, seeks to address issues and to identify appropriate aerodynamic modelling methods for the development of insect flight models. Experimental models of flapping wing insect are discussed, followed by numerical models. Finally, we highlight the development of prototypes in insect flight, on the design, sizing and classification of the flying insect prototypes.
