AN INTRODUCTION TO FLAPPING WING
AERODYNAMICS
Thisisanidealbookforgraduatestudentsandresearchersinterested
intheaerodynamics,structuraldynamics,andflightdynamicsofsmall
birds,bats,andinsects,aswellasofmicroairvehicles(MAVs),which
presentsomeoftherichestproblemsintersectingscienceandengineer-
ing. The agility and spectacular flight performance of natural flyers –
madepossiblebytheirflexible,deformablewingstructuresaswellas
outstanding wing, tail, and body coordination – are particularly sig-
nificant.TodesignandbuildMAVswithperformancecomparableto
naturalflyers,itisessentialtounderstandnaturalflyers’combinedflex-
iblestructuraldynamicsandaerodynamics.Theprimaryfocusofthis
book is to address recent developmentsin flappingwing aerodynam-
ics. This book extends the work presented in Aerodynamics of Low
ReynoldsNumberFlyers(Shyyetal.2008).
