Indirect actuation reduces flight power requirements in Manduca sexta via elastic energy exchange

In many insects, wing movements are generated indirectly via exoskeletal deformations. Measurements of inertial and aerodynamic power suggest that elastic recovery of energy between wingstrokes might reduce power requirements of flight. We tested three questions. (1) Can the thorax itself provide si...
