DOI: 10.1063/5.0282333

Abstract: Insect flight adjacent to single or multiple walls during hovering or approaching perching is common in nature. The aerodynamic forces of insects flying near multiple surfaces may deviate significantly from those experienced during normal hover… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.abn7050

Abstract: Hummingbirds possess distinct metabolic adaptations to fuel their energy-demanding hovering flight, but the underlying genomic changes are largely unknown. Here, we generated a chromosome-level genome assembly of the long-tailed hermit and screened for genes that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0954410021996545

Abstract: This study introduces a new quasi-flapping wing driving mechanism based on a half-rotating mechanism which is capable of pure rotational flapping rather than the more traditional oscillatory flapping method. Lift models for half-rotating wing (HRW)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/bio.060370

Abstract: ABSTRACT Hummingbirds are well known for their hovering flight, one of the most energetically expensive modes of locomotion among animals. Molt is a costly event in the annual cycle, in which birds replace their feathers,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/act13030091

Abstract: The paper reports on flight tests at hovering of the COLIBRI robot. After a short review of the control model and the stabilization strategy, two different approaches are considered for the attitude reconstruction from the… read more here.
