摘要：

Insect flight is a complicated business: the wings don't just flap up and down, but oscillate and twist to ensure that as much of the wing-stroke cycle is creating useful aerodynamic force. The latest finding is that transient bursts of lift are generated by the wings as they rotate at the top and bottom of each stroke, enhancing the lift achieved in other parts of the cycle.
