Figure Lengend Snippet: Three bionic wing frame models. ( A ) Frame of Model I. ( B ) Frame of Model II. ( C ) Frame of Model III. ( D ) The natural ladybird hindwing, where C is costa, R is radius, Cu is cubitus, AP is anal posterior, and WM1 and WM2 are the wrinkled membrane.
Article Snippet: Based on the results of the flapping kinematics analysis, three bionic deployable wing models (Models I, II, and III) imitating the hindwings of H. axyridis were designed by SpaceClaim 2023R1 and, based on the results of the aerodynamic test, the mechanical performance of three models was simulated and analyzed using ANSYS Workbench 2023R1.
