New metal material could enable shape-shifting aircraft wings that adapt mid-flight
A team of researchers at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) has created a nature-inspired active metal ...
Humans have long drawn inspiration from bird wings to design mechanical ones—and now a team of mathematicians has taken this biomimicry to a new level. By 3-D-printing a variety of wing shapes, racing ...
An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest species to generate enough lift to fly. The study, published today in eLife as the final Version of ...
Jan. 30 (UPI) --Scientists at New York University used a combination of computer simulations, 3D printing and lab tests to replicate evolution and identify the ideal wing shape for fast flapping ...
