Rapid flapping and fibre-reinforced membrane wings are key to high-performance bat flight

Bats fly using significantly different wing motions from other fliers, stemming from the complex interplay of their membrane wings’ motion and structural properties. Biological studies show that many bats fly at Strouhal numbers, the ratio of flapping to flight speed, 50–150% above the range typical...
