Flight Dynamics and Control of Evasive Maneuvers: The Fruit Fly's Takeoff
We have approached the problem of reverse-engineering the flight control mechanism of the fruit fly by studying the dynamics of the responses to a visual stimulus during takeoff. Building upon a prior framework [G. Card and M. Dickinson, J. Exp. Biol., vol. 211, pp. 341-353, 2008], we seek to understand the strategies employed by the animal to stabilize attitude and orientation during these eva...
متن کاملUltrasound-triggered, flight-gated evasive maneuvers in the praying mantis Parasphendale agrionina. I. Free flight.
Free-flying male praying mantises Parasphendale agrionina (Gerst.) perform evasive maneuvers when stimulated by ultrasound and when attacked by hunting, echolocating bats. They do not, however, respond in any way when standing on a substratum. The maneuvers are graded in intensity with distance from the sound source: far from the source they are simple turns, whereas close to the source they ar...
متن کاملThe Initiation and Control of Rapid Flight Maneuvers in Fruit Flies1
SYNOPSIS. Fruit flies alter flight direction by generating rapid, stereotyped turns, called saccades. The successful implementation of these quick turns requires a well-tuned orchestration of neural circuits, musculo-skeletal mechanics, and aerodynamic forces. The changes in wing motion required to accomplish a saccade are quite subtle, as dictated by the inertial dynamics of the fly’s body. A ...

متن کاملDynamics, Control, and Stabilization of Turning Flight in Fruit Flies
Complex behaviors of flying insects require interactions among sensory-neural systems, wing actuation biomechanics, and flapping-wing aerodynamics. Here, we review our recent progress in understanding these layers for maneuvering and stabilization flight of fruit flies. Our approach combines kinematic data from flying insects and aerodynamic simulations to distill reduced-order mathematical mod...
