At other times, birds glide through the air without appearing to need to make any corrective wing motions at all. This project aims to quantify the stability of birds in gliding flight using a ...

in the lab covers a wide range of areas including: Bird flight aerodynamics, stability and control Bird inspired guidance Bio-inspired UAV flight control Morphing wing aerodynamics and control Our ...

Researchers also tackle aircraft structural topology optimization, bird-strike-resistance ... including a blended-wing wide-body aircraft and the combined propulsion system to power it.

Feathers of Birds: Researchers at Seoul National University in South Korea are experimenting with a biomimetic device called the automatic moving deflector (AMD), inspired by bird wing feathers.
