仿生飞行器的研究进展--昆虫飞行机理的实验研究

昆虫经过了漫长的进化过程，获得了令人惊叹的飞行技巧，其高度的飞行灵活性是任何现有的飞行器无法比拟的；如一只普通的家蝇能倒着起飞、侧飞、倒着降落，并能携带两倍于自身重量的物品。早在19世纪初科学家们就开始了仿生飞行器的研究，所以搞清楚昆虫的飞行机理是非常必要的。通过综述昆虫飞行机理的实验研究进展，提出了一些现有研究方法的缺陷，希望对进一步的研究有所帮助。

Progress in the Research of Bionic Air Vehicles--Experimental Study of the Mechanisms in Insect Flight

Having experienced long evolving period,insect acquired amazing flying techniques and its flying maneuverability eclipses today's most agile man-made aircraft. For instance,a ordinary housefly can take off backwards,fly sideways,land upside-down,and carry up twice its body weight in the process~([2]).Scientists started the research of bionic air vehicles early in the ninteenth century,but it is prerequisite to solve the mystery of insect flight. This paper surveys the progress of the experimental study in insect flight,and points out some limitations on the research methods. I hope it will be help ful to the further research.
