Abstract Many species generally choose highly organized movements to gain more performance advantages rather
than alone in the animal world, such as V-formation and line formation in birds. Understanding the
aerodynamic characteristics and flow variation of multi-flapping wings in formation flight could be applied
to the formation design of new bionic flapping-wing aircraft. In this paper, the effects of unequal individual
spacing on the aerodynamic performance and flow mechanism of three-dimensional three-flapping wings
flying in tandem formation are investigated numerically at a low Reynolds number. The simulations include
small and large spacings, as well as cases with equal and unequal spacings… More >
