Effects of wings number on the flight performance of autorotating seeds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Physics of Fluids"
DOI: 10.1063/5.0244050
Abstract: Some natural wind-borne plants spread their seeds in a mode of autorotation, for example, maple, pterocarya stenoptera, and tristellateia. However, these wind-borne seeds have different numbers of wings. The current work focuses on the effects… read more here.

Micro-structures, nanomechanical properties and flight performance of three beetles with different folding ratios
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology"
DOI: 10.3762/bjnano.13.75
Abstract: When beetles are not in flight, their hind wings are folded and hidden under the elytra to reduce their size. This provided inspiration for the design of flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs). In this paper,… read more here.
