Inspired by the efficiency of nature’s flyers, there is a growing interest amongst engineers and scientists in modelling Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) after biological flyers. Many recent studies have been geared towards the investigation of the aerodynamics in flapping wing and the formation of the lea...
