Flapping Wing Aerodynamics

Flapping Wing Aerodynamics is a specialized subfield of Low-Speed Aerodynamics that investigates the unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms generated by oscillating wings, distinguishing itself through the analysis of time-varying lift, drag, and flow structures inherent in biologically inspired flapping flight.
