Wing inertia is the mass property that defines the torque needed by flapping-wing creatures to accelerate and decelerate the wings. During flapping flight, flapping-wing Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) invests inertial power to move the wings due to the presence of the wing inertia. This directly leads t...
