Biological flapping wing flight offers a variety of advantages over conventional fixed wing aircraft and rotor craft. For example, flapping propulsion can offer the speed of fixed wing aircraft at similar scales while providing the maneuverability of rotor craft. Avian species easily display feats of perching, payload carrying, endurance flying, and transition behavior. In light of these characteristics, emulating and recreating flapping flight in biomimetic or bioinspired work is important in the development of next generation aerial systems. Unfortunately, recreating flapping wing flight is not easily achieved despite numerous efforts to do so. This is in large part due to technological deficiencies. With emerging technologies, it has...
