postheadericon 'Best of both worlds' MAV combines flapping and gliding flight

Researchers inspired by the wings of swifts and swftlets have developed an experimental Mi...

When I look out my office window and watch the heart-stopping acrobatics of feeding swifts, it 's not hard to see why so many aircraft designers find inspiration in nature - from birds to bats, insects. Now it is' \ s the turn of the fast. To demonstrate in the hope, the endurance and performance benefits of a combined approach for gliding and flapping Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) design, the researchers an experimental flyer with the ability to both uncertain and steady aerodynamics have developed ...
