Flapping counter torque and active control in the escape maneuvers of hummingbirds [0.03%]
蜂鸟逃脱飞行中的扑翼反转力矩及主动控制研究
Griffin Hyde,Bret Tobalske,Bo Cheng et al.
Griffin Hyde et al.
Flapping Counter Torque (FCT) is an intrinsic mechanism in flapping-wing flight of animals, where the rotation of an animal's body creates asymmetric left-right wing motion, leading to a counter torque that opposes the body rotation. FCT co...
Effect of caudal fin shape on swimming performance of a flying fish robot [0.03%]
尾鳍形状对一种飞行鱼机器人游泳性能的影响
Chuansheng Du,Haozhi Chen,Kexian Liu et al.
Chuansheng Du et al.
The advancement of robotic fish necessitates examination of whether caudal fins should be
specifically designed for individual body shapes or if generic, isometric fins can function
effectively across multiple species. Addressing th...
