- Recent progress in flapping wing aerodynamics and aeroelasticity (2010, background): “[240] investigated the effect of chordwise flexibility on aerodynamic performance of an airfoil in pure plunge under hovering conditions.”
- Force production and asymmetric deformation of a flexible flapping wing in forward flight (2013, unknown): “Experiments on the wing flexibility have been carried out using heaving-only airfoils or membranous wings in rotational motion (Heathcote et al., 2004, 2008; Mazaheri and Ebrahimi, 2010), and they have demonstrated that both chordwise and spanwise deformations can have positive impact on the thrust…”
- Flapping Wing Aerodynamics: Progress and Challenges (2008, background): “[44] made particle image velocimetry and force measurements of rigid and flexible airfoils, which showed the dependence of the shed vortices and of the thrust on the airfoil flexibility, plunge frequency, and amplitude.”
- Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Flyers (2007, methodology): “Heathcote et al. (2004) have not found any regime in which the rigid airfoil performed best and suggested that there is an optimum airfoil stiffness that maximizes the thrust for a given plunge amplitude and frequency. The numerical investigation of a flexible flapping wing needs to solve coupled Na”
