Navier-Stokes simulations over an idealized flapping insect wing reveal a new strategy for vertical force generation in inclined stroke plane hovering: insects use their wing as bluff and streamlined bodies during downstroke and upstroke, respectively. This strategy helps insects to stay aloft. Furthermore, qualitative and quantitative results from our 2-D simulations determine to what extent the delayed stall mechanism is significant for enhanced flight performance in inclined plane hovering.
