Visual stabilization dynamics are enhanced by standing flight velocity.
A flying insect must travel to find food, mates and sites for oviposition, but for a small animal in a turbulent world this means dealing with frequent unplanned deviations from course. We measured a fly's sensory-motor impulse response to perturbations in optic flow. After an abrupt change in its apparent visual position, a fly generates a compensatory dynamical steering response in the opposi...
متن کاملGenetic Variability of Flight Metabolism in DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER. I. Characterization of Power Output during Tethered Flight.
The mechanical power imparted to the wings during tethered flight of Drosophila melanogaster is estimated from wing-beat frequency, wing-stroke amplitude and various aspects of wing morphology by applying the steady-state aerodynamics model of insect flight developed by Weis-Fogh (1972, 1973). Wing-beat frequency, the major determinant of power output, is highly correlated with the rate of oxyg...
متن کاملEnhanced Reduction of Velocity Data Obtained During CETA Flight Experiment
The Johnson Space Center performed a preliminary reduction of the data taken by a Langley-designed velocity-measuring system using a Hall-eect device during the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) experiment on the STS-37 Shuttle ight in April 1991. The data reduction provided average velocity proles. This paper describes a new enhanced data reduction technique based on a least-squares me...
متن کاملModification of vertical OKN and vertical OKAN asymmetry in humans during parabolic flight.
Characteristics of human vertical optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) and afternystagmus (OKAN) were examined by ISCAN imaging system on the ground and on board NASA's KC-135 aircraft in a parabolic flight study. The aircraft produced alternating periods of micro-(ca. 10(-2) G) and hyper-(ca. 1.8 G) gravitoinertial forces. Each phase lasted approximately 20 to 25 s. As compared to the baseline data on ...
متن کاملITER Plasma Vertical Stabilization
In this paper we summarize the results of the modelling, analyses and assessment of the ITER Vertical Stabilization (VS) system design carried out in the last two years by the ITER IO and Domestic Agencies as well as its possible improvements: these include the use of an additional VS system connecting some of the Central Solenoid coils, a power supply upgrade from 6 kV to 9kV, the use of passi...
