Aerodynamic modelling of insect-like flapping flight for micro air vehicles

TL;DR: In this paper, the main approaches found in the literature, categorising them into steady-state, quasi-steady, semi-empirical and fully unsteady methods, are discussed.

Non-linear unsteady aerodynamic model for insect-like flapping wings in the hover. Part 1: Methodology and analysis

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical, aerodynamic modelling of insect-like flapping wings in the hover for micro-air vehicle applications is presented, where the main results are force and moment data for the flapping wing.

On aerodynamic modelling of an insect–like flapping wing in hover for micro air vehicles

TL;DR: A new conceptual framework is proposed and, within this framework, two analytic approaches to aerodynamic modelling of an insect–like flapping wing in hover in the context of MAVs are proposed.

Airfoil Theory for Flows of Variable Velocity

TL;DR: In this article, an integro-differential relation between the velocity and circulation is given for general flows, in two forms: the realistic, where the airfoil is assumed at some time to have started from rest; and the periodic, where flow is periodic.

Theoretical Determination of the Minimum Drag of Airfoils at Supersonic Speeds

TL;DR: In this article, a method for determining the combined disturbance field and minimum drag of a single wing at supersonic speeds was proposed, with a symmetrical distribution of thickness, and the requirement of minimum drag for a given total volume.
