Fig. 10. Representative results for several kinematic and aerodynamic variables obtained for two wingbeats of dove 2 flying at (A) 1 m s-1, (B) 5 m s-1, (C) 9 m s-1 and (D) 17 m s-1. Each plot shows (i) vertical (z direction) motions of the wrist and wing tip, (ii) distal and proximal effective wing lengths (b), (iii) distal and proximal incident airflow (Wt), (iv) distal and proximal wing angles of attack ({alpha}) and (v) distal and proximal circulation ({Gamma}). The y-axis and x-axis scales are the same for all speeds. Shading indicates downstroke periods, which were determined from the z-axis (vertical) wrist motion.
