たとえばホバリング以外の状況においても常に quasi-steady 成分が90%とみなせるかどうかはわからないのでは？ということもあるし、一方で、蚊の場合には（単純な）quasi-steadyではだいぶエラーが大きいってこともあるわけだよなぁ https://t.co/nTT2MYKlKp （数字出てないけど誤差25%以上ありそう）

Abstract Synopsis
- Mosquitoes have unique wing movements, flapping extremely quickly at around 800Hz with small motions, which shifts the way they generate lift from traditional aerodynamic methods to specialized rotational mechanisms.
- Their flight relies on complex flow patterns, including leading-edge vortices, trailing-edge vortices from wake capture, and rotational drag, which work together to produce lift more efficiently in their specific wing structure.
- These rotational forces are driven by rapid wing pitch changes at the end of each stroke, making mosquito flight less dependent on wing speed and well-suited for their long, slender wings with high aspect ratios.
