1. Introduction to Insect Flight -- 2. Flight a Retrospect a Brief Review -- 3. Aerodynamic Considerations -- 4. Flight Morphology and Flight Muscles -- 5. Types of Textures in Insect Wings and Classification -- 6. Theories on Hovering Flight of Insects-A Brief Review -- 7. Moment of Inertia and Mutilation Studies of Insect Wing -- 8. Chitinous Membranes and Analogous Materials -- 9. Aeroelasticity -- 10. Insect Migration -- 11. MAV Design Aspects and MEMS. 12. Bio-mimicking MAVs and Insect Flight -- 13. Navigation – A General Overview -- 14. WINGBEAT FREQUENCY THEORIES- A Mathematical Approach -- 15. Comments on Bio-physics of Insect Flight (Present and Future) -- Bibliography -- Index.

This book basically involves the study of flight parameters, wing beat frequency, moment of inertia, and wing movements for developing various aerodynamic forces which have been calculated. The book is intended for biologists, physicists, nanotechnologists, and aerospace engineers. Resilin, an elastic polymer (4 λ) which is present at the base of insect, plays a major role in Neurogenic and Myogenic insect flyers and influences the physiology of flight muscles. Leading edge vortex (LEV) is a special feature of insect flight. Insect wings have stalling angle above 60 degrees as compared to a man-made aeroplane stalling angle which is 16 degree. Reynolds number, the knowledge of LEV, and detailed study of moment of inertia help in developing flapping flexible wings for micro-aerial-vehicles. This book serves as an interface between biologists and engineers interested to develop biomimicking micro-aerial-vehicles. The contents of this book is useful to researchers and professionals alike.
