Insects are thought to use specific chest muscles to actively open and close their wings. However, high-speed imaging reveals that rhinoceros beetles flap their hindwings to deploy them for flight, ...

The wing’s movements were defined using rotation matrices employed in the simulation process. To better understand the aerodynamic mechanisms of the wings during 3 different stages, authors used CFD ...

Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) are characterized by their compact size, lightweight design, and high maneuverability, making them highly practical for various applications. However, the ...

A Tunisian startup has pulled inspiration from hummingbird wings for a new wind turbine design. Developed by Tyer Wing, the turbine is equipped with a pair of flapping wings that are over five feet ...
