Fruit flies modulate passive wing pitching to generate in-flight turns
Attila J. Bergou, Leif Ristroph, John Guckenheimer +2
Flying insects execute aerial maneuvers through subtle manipulations of their wing motions. Here, we measure the free flight kinematics of fruit flies and determine how they modula…
