Spring to flight with clapping wings

Some insects adopt clap-and-fling wing maneuver during flight to generate more aerodynamic thrust. However, such flapping flight is energetic costly, for wing acceleration and deceleration. To fly efficiently, insects recover wing kinetic energy by elastic energy storage. Conventional micro air vehi...
