Fig. 13. Non-dimensional angular velocity of pitching rotation
and azimuthal
rotation
(A), lift
coefficient CL (B) and drag coefficient
CD (C) versus time during one cycle for three
different values of the non-dimensional duration of wing rotation

r. Symmetrical rotation; mean lift coefficient
(midstroke angle of attack
m was adjusted to make the mean lift equal to insect
weight).
c, non-dimensional period of one flapping cycle;
, non-dimensional time.
