- This highly cited paper presents part of a major project on MAV's as an extensive investigation of key flight parameters of "natural flyers" such as birds and insects and how these can be modelled and scaled to provide insights to the design of micro air vehicles such as the micro-humming bird being developed by Prof Chen, among many others. The work derived from a collaboration between GCU and the Chengdu University, China.
