Fig. 12. Diagram of the bumble attitude, horizontal speed and pitching rate, and the
forces and moments during the first cycle of the disturbed motion (unstable
oscillatory mode).
u+,
q+ and 
, disturbance quantities in
non-dimensional x-component of velocity, pitching rate and pitch
angle, respectively;
M+, non-dimensional pitching
moment; mg, insect weight; F0, total
aerodynamic force at equilibrium.
