Many previous studies have shown that wing corrugation of an insect wing is only structurally beneficial in enhancing the wing?s bending stiffness and does not much help to improve the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings. This study uses two-dimens...

Diamond wing configurations for low signature vehicles have been studied in recent years. Yet, despite numerous research on highly swept, sharp edged wings, little research on aerodynamics of semi-slender wings with blunt leading-edges exists. This paper...
