Abstract

A lot of studies were made to make clear the mechanism of high lift generation by an insect during a hovering flight. It was found that the high lift is caused by a separated vortex. The present subject in a study of insect flight is to estimate the aerodynamic force generated by an insect precisely. In an analysis, effects of wings' deformation and body's motion on an aerodynamic force are estimated. An insect can fly with high stability and agility. To make clear a reason for stability and agility of an insect will be a new subject from now on. Recently, micro aerial vehicles are developed. Comparing their flights with insects' flights, we will find superiority of insects to them.
