The goal of the thesis was to establish and validate a model for maneuvering fruit fly flight. Fruit flies are capable of rapidly changing direction and accelerating away from a threat during so-called escape maneuvers. The maneuverability and control of these escape maneuvers are of interest for the development of small unmanned aircraft (Micro Aerial Vehicles) and for the field of neurobiology where the wing kinematic response of fruit flies on visual stimuli is heavily studied.
