4.6 (a) Inverted waveforms of wing amplitude for 22 bird
species (plotted from data in Taylor, Nudds, and Thomas
2003). As expected, most of the Strouhal numbers fall between
0.2 and 0.4 (plot based on Corum 2003). (b) Speeds and
Reynolds numbers of various flyers (based, with permission, on
Filippone 2003).
