Inhaltsangabe

Birds, bats, insects, and micro air vehicles (MAVs) share many aerodynamic features. This book focuses on the aerodynamics associated with fixed and flapping wings. An updated summary of the state of the knowledge based on both the biological and engineering literatures, the book addresses both fixed and flapping wing flyers.

Críticas

"The authors of this book, active pioneers of this new field, have assembled the first comprehensive treatment of the major new aerodynamic aspects pertaining to MAVs...It is well written and illustrated with 29 color and 130 black and white figures. It also has a quite comprehensive reference list. Therefore, it should be of value to scientists and engineers who wish to familiarize themselves with the aerodynamics of birds, insects, and micro air vehicles. In addition, students and anyone else who wishes to learn about the intricacies of aerodynamic lift and thrust generation will bene!t from reading parts of this book."
