The impressive maneuverability demonstrated by birds has so far eluded comparably sized
uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). Modern studies have shown that birds' ability to change …

Powered flight was once a capability limited only to animals, but by identifying useful
attributes of animal flight and building on these with technological advances, engineers …

A banked turn is a common flight maneuver observed in birds and aircraft. To initiate the
turn, whereas traditional aircraft rely on the wing ailerons, most birds use a variety of …

Birds dynamically adapt to disparate flight behaviours and unpredictable environments by
actively manipulating their skeletal joints to change their wing shape. This in-flight …

This study employs a high-fidelity numerical approach to simulate fluid–structure interaction
phenomena for the dynamic response of flexible hyperelastic morphing wing structures …

Gliding arboreal lizards in the genus Draco possess a pair of patagia, which are thin wing
membranes supported by highly elongated thoracic ribs and can be actively folded and …

Avian-inspired drones feature morphing wing and tail surfaces, enhancing agility and
adaptability in flight. Despite their large potential, realising their full capabilities remains …

This study aims to investigate the effects of electroactive morphing on a 70 cm chord A320
wing by means of near trailing edge slight deformation and vibration. Wing morphing is …

Bioinspired Flap**-Wing Micro Aerial Vehicles (FWMAVs) have emerged over the last two
decades as a promising new type of robot. Their high thrustto-weight ratio, versatility, safety …

This work addresses the aeroelasticity of airfoils with permeable trailing sections which is a
topic that has not been studied in the literature before. There has been an increasing interest …
