Investigation of High Lift Force Generation of Dragonfly Wing by a Novel Advanced Mode in Hover

In the paper, a novel flapping mode is presented that can generate high lift force by a dragonfly wing in hover. The new mode, named partial advanced mode (PAM), starts pitching earlier than symmetric rotation during the downstroke cycle of the hovering motion. As a result, high lift force can be ge...
