The aerodynamic behavior of a flying insect is to be
investigated in a wind tunnel using a 1:8-scale model. If the
insect flaps its wings 60 times per second when flying at 1.5
m/s, determine the wind tunnel air speed and wing oscillation
required for dynamic similarity. Do you expect that this
would be a successful or practical model for generating an
easily measurable wing lift? If not, can you suggest a different fluid (e.g., water, or air at a different pressure or
temperature) that would produce a better modeling?
