Fig. 4. Instantaneous drag traces. The regions where the stroke position of wing is
between 90° and 90° are highlighted in gray and roughly
approximate the phase of an upstroke or downstroke between wing rotations.
Angle of attack
varied from 10° to 100° in steps of
10° for each advance ratio. (AiDi) =72 deg. s1,
advance ratio equal to 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2, respectively. (AiiDii)
=72 deg. s1, advance ratio equal to 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and
1/2, respectively.
