"This book presents rigorous techniques for modelling the multi-body dynamics problem in a flapping-wing vehicle as well as flexibility in the surfaces. A modern energy-based Lagrangian approach is used to derive the equations of motion. The formulation is suitable for extensions into the areas of stability analysis and control design." --The Aeronautical Journal "This is a useful test for academics, students and hobbyists interested in studying and building flapping-wing vehicles. Though the aerodynamic models employed here are quite basic, the dynamical model is general enough that more complex aerodynamic models can easily be substituted. This could pave the way to a better understanding of the flow physics and active/passive flow control mechanisms in biological flight." --The Aeronautical Journal
