Fig. 7. (A) Stroke plane angle (SPA) relative to horizontal and (B) angle of attack
(AoA) at mid-downstroke versus flight angle. SPA was more inclined
for level and shallow ascent and descent, and more horizontal for steep ascent
and descent. Values of AoA decreased from steep descent through shallow
ascent, and then increased slightly from shallow to steep ascent.
