The material property, kinematics and computational fluid dynamics of the dragonfly Sympetrum flaveolum are investigated. The elastic modulus of the leading edge spar of a hindwing, obtained through vibration tests, was found to be similar to rubber with small strain. The flapping motions of the hin...
