Measuring differential pressures with multiple MEMS sensors during takeoff of an insect-like ornithopter

In this study, the differential pressure distribution on the wing surface of an insect-like ornithopter was measured directly. Three microelectromechanical system (MEMS) differential pressure sensors were attached to a wing surface in the spanwise direction. The wing length, flapping frequency, and...
