Wing Coupling in Bees and Wasps: From the Underlying Science to Bioinspired Engineering

Wing Coupling in Bees and Wasps: From the Underlying Science to Bioinspired Engineering

Abstract Wing‐to‐wing coupling mechanisms synchronize motions of insect wings and minimize their aerodynamic interference. Albeit they share the same function, their morphological traits appreciably vary across groups. Here the structure–material–function relationship of wing couplings of nine caste...
