A butterfly with a low flapping frequency of 10Hz and wingspan of 10cm turns quickly, takes off over 10G, migrates a long distance despite of a few DOF wings. We are investigating the flapping motion using highspeed camera system,\n and analyzing the vortex around the wings by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and fabricating the same scale model with 0.5g. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
