For the first time in history, researchers have been able to create a detailed 3D numerical simulation of a dragonfly in free flight.

This is a high-speed movie of a dragonfly taking off. The black spots on the wing are 0.5mm ink markers that help track exact wing positions when creating the 3D shapes using films shot from different angles.

If you select the "show more" tab under the description, you will see further explanation - with link to the full story and video, including the CFD angle. (Yes, it could have been a little clearer.)
