Elastic Energy Storage Mechanism in Hovering Animal Flight: A Discriminative Method Based on Wing Kinematics
Existing research has yet to reach a consensus on whether and how small flying animals utilize elastic energy storage mechanisms to reduce flight energy expenditure, and there is a lack of systematic and universal methods for assessment. To address these gaps, this study proposes a method to evaluate elastic energy storage capacity based on wing kinematic parameters (flapping amplitude and flapping frequency), grounded in the hypothesis that animals tend to minimize flight energy expenditure.
