Abstract
A new analysis of bounding flight is presented. The rise and fall in this style of flight are explicitly taken into account, and the aerodynamic performance required to achieve curvature of the flight path during the powered phase is included. It is shown that this flight style may be viewed as a strategy for increasing flight speed without incurring the penalty of increased energy expenditure associated with increased flight speed under conditions of steady horizontal flight.
