We conduct fluid-structure interaction (FSI) numerical simulations involving flexible wings. This will take into account factors such as the spanwise distance between two wing ribs, the distribution and size of the wing shape supported by the front and rear edges in the chordwise direction, membrane material properties, membrane pre-stress, and other relevant parameters.
