Influence of wing flexibility on the aerodynamic performance of a tethered flapping bumblebee

The flight of insects has enlightened the flying dream of human beings for centuries. Wing flexibility is often used by insects to increase their flight efficiencies. However, the mechanism of the increased efficiencies still remains mysterious. Prof. Kai Schneider's group studies the aerodynam...
