Abstract

The tentative ideas on frontier problems of the external biofluiddynamics for miniaturized insect flight are given. The emphasis of investigations is put on the unsteady and viscous features of complex interactions between motile animals and their surrounding fluid media. A description of current situations on this research topic is outlined and some ideas on its future developments are mentioned.
