Hypotheses explaining the use of intermittent bounding and undulating flight modes in birds are considered. Existing theoretical models of intermittent flight have assumed that the animal flies at a ...

Abstract: Many owl species rely on specialized plumage to mitigate their aerodynamic noise and achieve functionally-silent flight while hunting. One such plumage feature, a tattered arrangement of ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- The maneuverability of a bat in flight makes even Harry Potter's quidditch performance look downright clumsy. While many people may be content to simply watch ...

Bats generate a measurably distinct aerodynamic footprint to achieve lift and maneuverability, quite unlike birds and contrary to many of the assumptions that aerodynamicists have used to model animal ...

Aerodynamic modelling and flight testing remain at the forefront of aircraft design and verification, providing the essential linkage between computational simulations and real-world performance.

Earn Your Online Certificate in Aerodynamics From One of the Top Engineering Colleges in the Nation. Aerodynamics, to put it simply, is the analysis of the forces and resulting motion of objects in ...

D2’s iconic flight scenes in Star Wars. Using real-world principles of thrust, propulsion, and aerodynamics, we analyze how R2-D2 might actually take to the skies, blending science with sci-fi! #StarW ...
