Our previous study shows that the lateral disturbance motion of a model drone fly does not have inherent stability (passive stability),because of the existence of an unstable divergence mode.But drone flies are obse...

We describe a 2D fringe projection method that involves projecting two groups of sharp comb fringes onto a free-flying hawk-moth from different directions and recording the images of distorted fringes by two high spee...
