Deterioration of Damselfly Flight Performance due to Wing Damage

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this video, effect of chordwise damage on a damselfly (American Rubyspot)'s wings is investigated. High speed photogrammetry was used to collect the data of damselflies' flight with intact and damaged wings along the wing chord. Different level of deterioration of flight performance can be observed. Further investigation will be on the dynamic and aerodynamic roles of each wing with and without damage.
