In flying insects, dragonfly has special high flight performance. Therefore, in this study, pressure on dragonfly wing surface were measured for understanding much more about the dragonfly flight mechanisms. In particular, the pressure on dragonfly wing surface were measured during gliding and many things were studied for development of the light flexible pressure sensor for using measurement pressure during flapping flight. First, in this pressure experiment, the pressure on the 3 points of the hind-wing surface were measured. In this experiments in glider mode, the pressure on the hind-wing bottom surface generated positive pressure at center and wing tip points. Additionally, the pressure on the hind-wing top surface generated negative pressure at each measured points. Second, in studied for development of the pressure sensor, Ag nanoparticle ink were discharged as wiring material with an inkjet printer and inorganic and organic materials were researched for sensing position of the pressure sensor.
