Smart wing rotation and trailing-edge vortices enable high frequency mosquito flight

Mosquitoes exhibit unique wing kinematics; their long, slender wings flap at remarkably high frequencies for their size (>800 Hz) and with lower stroke amplitudes than any other insect group1. This shifts weight support away from the translation-dominated, aerodynamic mechanisms used by most inse...
