Abstract
In flying insects, dragonfly has especially high flight performances which are high speed flying, hovering, turn sharp, and so on. Therefore, dragonfly has been expected to be applied design guide for developing MAV used in disaster area. For this reasons, our researches has focused on dragonfly flight mechanisms for developing MAV with high flight performance. In this study, for clarifying the dragonfly flight mechanisms, the pressure over the wing surface were measured with test wing in one wing mode and glider mode like real dragonfly gliding. From this measurement result, the pressure over the hind-wing surface was made a change by the fore-wing located. We considered that the fore-wing changed air flow direction. Moreover, real dragonfly may cause equal change in gliding.
