Four-Winged Flapping Flyer in Forward Flight - Selected Topics of Computational and Experimental Fluid Mechanics - page 153

Acknowledgments We thank all people at the PMMH workshop for their help with the exper-
imental setup, in particular D. Pradal, who conceived and built most of its parts. We thank also
X. Benoit-Gonin, M. Vilmay and G. Lemoult for the LabView interfacing, and S. Ramananarivo,
V. Raspa, D. Kolomenskiy and G. Spedding for useful discussions. This work was supported by the
French National Research Agency through project No. ANR-08-BLAN-0099 and by EADS Foun-
dation through project “Fluids and elasticity in biomimetic propulsion”. M. C. acknowledges finan-
cial support from CONACyT and UNAM, México. P. J. acknowledges support from the Charpak
Internship Program.
