Effects of wing kinematics, corrugation, and clap-and-fling on aerodynamic efficiency of a hovering insect-inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicle

Khanh Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of wing kinematics, corrugation structures, and clap-and-fling on the aerodynamic efficiency of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle. It is found that modified wing kinematics version 3 improved the lift-to-drag ratio by 24%, and distributed wing corrugations slightly augmented the L/D by 2%. Clap-and-fling behavior, however, contributed to a 5% increase in lift but a 9% increase in drag, leading to a 4% reduction in L/D.

Butterflies fly using efficient propulsive clap mechanism owing to flexible wings

L. C. Johansson et al.

Summary: Butterflies use wing clap mechanism for propulsion during flight, with flexible wings showing higher efficiency compared to rigid wings. The evolution of an effective clap mechanism in butterflies provides a mechanistic hypothesis for their unique wing morphology and could also aid in the design of man-made flapping drones for improved propulsive performance.
