How Butterflies Fly Podcast 184

Premier Aerodynamics Podcast

Butterflies use the clap and fling approach to fly, but how does it exactly work? At what points during the flapping do thrust and lift get created? And do their wings' flexibility affect the flow physics? Find out here in this podcast!
