Mathematical models based on inviscid flow theory are effective at predicting the aerodynamic forces on large-scale aircraft. Avian flight, however, is characterized by smaller sizes, slower speeds, and increased influence of viscous effects associat...

Flow sensing on dragonfly wings (2024)
Journal Article
Uhrhan, M. J., Bomphrey, R. J., & Lin, H. (2024). Flow sensing on dragonfly wings. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1536(1), 107-121. https://doi.org/10.1111/nyas.15152

One feature of animal wings is their embedded mechanosensory system that can support flight control. Insect wings are particularly interesting as they are highly deformable yet the actuation is limited to the wing base. It is established that strain... Read More about Flow sensing on dragonfly wings.
