Abstract:
Part I introduced the aerodynamic equation of state. This Part II introduces the
aerodynamic equation of state for lift and induced drag of flapping wings and
applies it to a hovering and forward-flying bumblebee and a mosquito. Two- and
three-dimensional graphical representations of the state space are introduced
and explored for engineered subsonic flyers, biological fliers, and sports
balls.
