To improve the self-stabilization performance of flapping-wing micro-aircraft, Prof. Wu Xuezhong and Xiao Dingbang's team at the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), has proposed a ...

An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest species to generate enough ...

The study of bio-inspired flapping flight and the dynamics of micro air vehicles (MAVs) has grown into a vibrant interdisciplinary field, merging insights from insect biomechanics, aerodynamics and ...

Next time you look up at the sky at a flock of birds, pay close attention. They might not be what you think they are. Scientists at New Mexico Tech are using birds preserved by taxidermy and turning ...

Inspired by the remarkable flight capabilities of birds, bats, and insects, flapping-wing robotics represents one of the most promising frontiers in bio-inspired aerial systems, demonstrating enhanced ...
