Fig. 7. Changes in the performance of the simulated moth in hovering flight as the
number of free parameters is reduced (and the number of fixed parameters
increased). Performance was quantified by (A) the number of wingbeats the
model executed without leaving a 4096 cm3 volume, up to a maximum
of 41 wingbeats (1.5 s of flight) and (B) the mean distance from the moth to
the centre of the volume. Note that the model requires 5 wingbeats to fall
from its initial position to a location outside the target volume. Trends are
shown as the mean ± 1 s.d., with the maximum and minimum values
indicated by diamonds and circles, respectively. N=4096 trials.
