This connection is the product of research and experiment on flapping-wing micro-air vehicles. The paper provides evidence of flapping-wing propulsion as a desirable method of flight for micro-air vehicles and backs up their claims with the concept of natural selection. It goes on to explain their prototype inspired by biology. Then, they display results from their experiment of the feasibility and efficiency of the design to be implemented in a real-world setting. Lastly, they make conclusions on what they can do to improve their current model such as, scaling down the design and incorporating low-speed performance, eventually achieving hovering flight.
