In this chapter, physical principles of fixed-wing and flapping-wing aerodynamics are introduced briefly with the associated terminology. Furthermore, the main aerodynamic mechanisms which are responsible for the generation of the forces in the flapping-wing flight are described in order to provide the reader with fundamental knowledge before further comprehensive analysis of the DelFly.
