Wing Kinematics and Unsteady Aerodynamics of a Hummingbird Pure Yawing Maneuver

As one of few animals with the capability to execute agile yawing maneuvers, it is quite desirable to take inspiration from hummingbird flight aerodynamics. To understand the wing and body kinematics and associated aerodynamics of a hummingbird performing a free yawing maneuver, a crucial step in mi...
