Bumblebees Exhibit Adaptive Flapping Responses to Air Disturbances
Tim Jakobi, Simon Watkins, Alex Fisher +1
Insects excel in trajectory and attitude handling during flight, yet the specific kinematic behaviours they use for maintaining stability in air disturbances are not fully understo…
Design of a magnetically actuated flapping wing contrivance
Jason Paul, Alex Fisher, Sridhar Ravi
Unmanned micro aerial vehicle research is an active area of development due to the vast potential applications. Prior work towards realizing flapping flight has achieved some succe…
Bees with attitude: the effect of gusts on flight dynamics
Timothy Jakobi, Dmitry Kolomenskiy, Teruaki Ikeda +4
Flight is a complicated task at small scales in part due to the ubiquitous unsteady air which contains it. Flying organisms deal with these difficulties using active and passive co…
Added costs of insect-scale flapping flight in unsteady airflows
Dmitry Kolomenskiy, Sridhar Ravi, Taku Takabayashi +8
The aerial environment in the operating domain of small-scale natural and artificial flapping wing fliers is highly complex, unsteady and generally turbulent. Considering flapping…
Bumblebees minimize control challenges by combining active and passive modes in unsteady winds
Sridhar Ravi, Dmitry Kolomenskiy, Thomas Engels +4
The natural wind environment that volant insects encounter is unsteady and highly complex, posing significant flight control and stability challenges. Unsteady airflows can range f…
