The Effect of Spanwise Folding on the Aerodynamic Performance of a Passively Deformed Flapping Wing

The wings of birds exhibit multi-degree-of-freedom motions during flight. Among them, the flapping folding motion and chordwise passive deformation of the wings are prominent features of large birds in flight, contributing to their exceptional flight capabilities. This article presents a method for...
