Figure 5


Fig. 5. Output from a typical simulation showing both the position and orientation of the moth every 1.6 wingbeats (A) and the variation in time for each of the kinematic parameters (B). The Y-axis scales in B extend to the minimum and maximum values allowed for each kinematic parameter. Wing parameters are {Phi} (azimuthal angle), {theta} (sweep angle) and {alpha} (span axis rotational angle), each of which has an amplitude (subscripted A), phase ({delta}) and mean (bar over). ß is the abdominal angle.
