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