Blowfly flight and optic flow. I. Thorax kinematics and flight dynamics
The motion of the thorax of the blowfly Calliphora vicina was measured during cruising flight inside a cage measuring 40 cmx40 cmx40 cm. Sensor coils mounted on the thorax picked up externally generated magnetic fields and yielded measurements of the position and orientation of the thorax with a resolution of 1 ms, 0.3 degrees and 1 mm. Flight velocities inside the cage were up to 1.2 m s-1, an...
متن کاملBlowfly Flight and Optic Flow
The motion of the thorax of the blowfly Calliphora vicina is measured during cruising flight inside a cage of 40×40×40 cm. Sensor coils mounted on the thorax pick up externally generated magnetic fields, and yield measurements of position and orientation of the thorax with a resolution of 1 ms, 0.3°, and 1 mm. Flight velocities inside the cage are up to 1.2 m/s, accelerations are up to 1 g (≈10...
متن کاملBlowfly flight and optic flow. II. Head movements during flight
The position and orientation of the thorax and head of flying blowflies (Calliphora vicina) were measured using small sensor coils mounted on the thorax and head. During flight, roll movements of the thorax are compensated by counter rolls of the head relative to the thorax. The yaw turns of the thorax (thorax saccades) are accompanied by faster saccades of the head, starting later and finishin...
متن کاملBlowfly flight characteristics are shaped by environmental features and controlled by optic flow information.
Blowfly flight consists of two main components, saccadic turns and intervals of mostly straight gaze direction, although, as a consequence of inertia, flight trajectories usually change direction smoothly. We investigated how flight behavior changes depending on the surroundings and how saccadic turns and intersaccadic translational movements might be controlled in arenas of different width wit...
متن کاملBat flight: aerodynamics, kinematics and flight morphology.
Bats evolved the ability of powered flight more than 50 million years ago. The modern bat is an efficient flyer and recent research on bat flight has revealed many intriguing facts. By using particle image velocimetry to visualize wake vortices, both the magnitude and time-history of aerodynamic forces can be estimated. At most speeds the downstroke generates both lift and thrust, whereas the f...
