Passive Dynamic Stability of a Hovering Fruit Fly: a Comparison between Linear and Nonlinear Methods

Insects exhibit exquisite control of their flapping flight, capable of performing precise stability and steering maneuverability. To tackle this highly nonlinear problem we have developed two simulation-based methods to investigate the dynamic passive stability of insect flight: linear and nonlinear...
