An experimental study was conducted to assess the aerodynamic benefits of using ‘Clap-and-Fling’ flapping flight mechanics for the development of Micro-Aerial Vehicle (MAV). The overall flight performance in terms of thrust generation of the ‘Clap-and-Fling’ flight was compared with the ‘no-clap’ fl...
