The discussion focuses on the challenges of analyzing streamflow and lift for Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), highlighting that the flow around MAVs has low Reynolds Numbers, complicating the application of traditional aerodynamic equations. The complexities of the Navier-Stokes equations due to significant molecular viscosity make it difficult to simplify analyses for MAVs compared to larger aircraft. Engineers may rely on trial and error in design, as there are limited successful MAV models in operation. Additionally, the aerodynamics of MAVs do not scale well, presenting further design challenges. Overall, the conversation underscores the unique aerodynamic difficulties faced in the development of MAVs.
