• Force production and asymmetric deformation of a flexible flapping wing in forward flight (2013, unknown): “Previously, this asymmetry has been mainly attributed to the directional bending stiffness in the wing structure, e.g., one-way hinge (Wootton, 1981), or a pre-existing camber in the wing surface (Wootton, 1993).”
• Aerodynamic and functional consequences of wing compliance (2009, unknown): “The deformations experienced by a flapping insect wing most often involve some combination of spanwise bending and torsion (Wootton 1981; Wootton et al. 2003).”
