MAVs and aircraft, when hit by a turbulent gust, can undergo severe structural loss which may even be catastrophic. But, same is not the case with Insects. It doesn’t take them even a fraction of a second to stabilize themselves after being hit by a gust. What may be the wing kinematic techniques, they are employing to do this? Are there any other strategies too? With this motivation, we are studying the impact of a gust on soldier fly and trying to see if the learned techniques can be employed to the design of MAVs and aircraft to reduce the gust impact.
