Asynchronous and Self‐Adaptive Flight Assembly via Electrostatic Actuation of Flapping Wings

About three quarters of flying insects on Earth use the asynchronous driving mechanism in muscles to power their flights. Herein, an asynchronous flight assembly via electrostatic actuation of flapping wings in analogy to the asynchronous mechanism in natural flying insects is demonstrated. The wing...
