Add to ORKGABSTRACT- Flexible bodies possessed by fish and marine mammals have been shown to permit high levels of performance with respect to maneuverability. However, flexibility has been avoided in the construction of engineered vehicles. Mechanisms to enhance turning performance with rigid bodies were assessed for the whirligig beetle and the humpback whale. Whirligig beetles swim rapidly in circular patterns. Curved trajectories were executed as powered turns by asymmetrical rowing of the legs, or by increased drag from the abducted elytra in combination with vectored thrust generated from sculling of the wing. Minimum relative radius was 24 % of body length. Maximum rate of turn was 4428 deg/s with maximum centripetal acceleration of 2.86 g. Hum...
