Micro-structures, nanomechanical properties and flight performance of three beetles with different folding ratios

Micro-structures, nanomechanical properties and flight performance of three beetles with different folding ratios

When beetles are not in flight, their hind wings are folded and hidden under the elytra to reduce their size. This provided inspiration for the design of flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs). In this paper, microstructures and nanomechanical properties of three beetle species with different...
