Article Synopsis
- The study explores how changing the angle of wing corrugation affects the flight dynamics of insects, particularly focusing on dragonflies and damselflies that have flexible wing joints.
- A proposed two-dimensional airfoil with variable corrugation angles demonstrates improved aerodynamic performance, yielding greater thrust and reduced power usage compared to a rigid model.
- Optimal performance is achieved with specific angle variations, while excessive changes or improper design features can negatively impact thrust and overall efficiency, highlighting implications for designing efficient biomimetic flying vehicles.
