Methods for calculating thrust, and therefore drag, are discussed. This work describes the application of two methods for the calculation of in-flight thrust determination and contains a description of the relevant methods and their implementation in a user friendly computer program, together with ...
Fig. 1: Phylogenetic comparative analysis of insect wingbeat actuation reveals a probable single origin of asynchronous flight muscle. a, Synchronous muscle has a 1:1 relationship between neural activation (blue dots) and muscle contraction. Asynchronous muscle contraction is independent of the precise ...
In prewar years, Kutta and Zhukovski had found that circulation was needed to eliminate flow anomalies in their two-dimensional theory of lift, while Prandtl's boundary layer theory had greatly simplifed calculation of drag on a wing of infinite span. As peace settled over Europe, de- ...

We first examined the evolution of synchrony and asynchrony using maximum-likelihood phylogenetic state reconstruction14(Methods). We find that there has most probably been only one evolution of flight muscle asynchrony at the order level. There is an 86% probability that a single transition from sy...
The reduction of rotor speed thus causes a decrease in thrust, as the collective pitch increases. Because the total number of flight conditions and measurable states are limited in a wind tunnel experiment, and to further investigate the details of the interfered flow field, the computational ...
