Nonlinear time-periodic models of the longitudinal flight dynamics of desert locusts Schistocerca gregaria.

Previous studies of insect flight control have been statistical in approach, simply correlating wing kinematics with body kinematics or force production. Kinematics and forces are linked by Newtonian mechanics, so adopting a dynamics-based approach is necessary if we are to place the study of insect...
