DESCRIPTION:When animals fly\, they must overcome the same physical challe
 nges that face manmade vehicles yet their solutions are often remarkably d
 ifferent. Recent advances in experimental and computational fluid mechanic
 s have enhanced our understanding of how aerial and aquatic animals intera
 ct with the fluid through which they move. I will give an overview of the 
 aspects of my research programme that investigate how insect wing designs\
 , and the kinematic patterns they use\, relate to flight performance in te
 rms of aerobatic agility\, force production and flight efficiency.
