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.

Meander of a fin trailing vortex and the origin of its turbulence
TL;DR: The low-frequency meander of a trailing vortex shed from a tapered fin installed on a wind tunnel wall has been studied using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry in the near-wake at Mach 08 as mentioned in this paper.

An Indicial-Polhamus Aerodynamic Model OfInsect-like Flapping Wings In Hover
C.B. Pedersen,Zbikowski +1 more
TL;DR: A model of insect-like wing aerodynamics in hover has been developed and implemented as MATLAB code, intended to give better insight into the various aerodynamic effects on the wing, and is as close to being purely analytical as possible.
A concept of two-staged spaceplane for suborbital tourism
TL;DR: In this article, a simple two-staged spaceplane for suborbital tourism is presented, where flying wing configuration is proposed for the first stage mothership and cranked delta wing for spaceplane.
