Aerodynamic mechanisms in bio-inspired micro air vehicles: a review in the light of novel compound layouts

Modern designs of micro air vehicles (MAVs) are mostly inspired by nature's flyers, such as hummingbirds and flying insects, which results in the birth of bio-inspired MAVs. The history and recent progress of the aerodynamic mechanisms in bio-inspired MAVs are reviewed in this study, especially...
