Inertia may limit efficiency of slow flapping flight, but mayflies show a strategy for reducing the power requirements of loiter
Journal Article
Usherwood, J. R. Inertia may limit efficiency of slow flapping flight, but mayflies show a strategy for reducing the power requirements of loiter. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-3182/4/1/015003Predictions from aerodynamic theory often match biological observations very poorly. Many insects and several bird species habitually hover, frequently flying at low advance ratios. Taking helicopter-based aerodynamic theory, wings functioning predom...
