Abstract
In this paper, we present a short review on some of significative results on insect flapping flight. In particular, we focus on the time varying shape mechanisms observed during the flapping cycle that are used by insects to enhance the production of aerodynamic force. We then discuss a few examples on how these mechanisms are adapted to energy harvesters in engineered applications.
