Flapping Wing Aerodynamics: Progress and Challenges
TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments in the understanding and prediction of flapping-wing aerodynamics is presented, with a special emphasis on the dependence of thrust, lift, and propulsive efficiency on flapping mode, amplitude, frequency, and wing shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and Computational Investigation of the Knoller-Betz Effect
TL;DR: In this article, the ability of a sinusoidally plunging airfoil to produce thrust, known as the Knoller-Betz or Katzmayr effect, was investigated experimentally and numerically.

Vision-based tracking and motion estimation for moving targets using small UAVs
TL;DR: This paper addresses the development of a vision-based target tracking system for a small unmanned air vehicle that performs autonomous tracking of a moving target, while simultaneously estimating GPS coordinates of the target.
Hypersonic Waverider Design from Given Shock Waves.
TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt is made to generate waverider flows from given shock wave geometries using two approaches: axisymmetric flows are used to construct more general flows based on the concept of osculating cones.
