Last year European manufacturer Airbus unveiled a small-scale aircraft with flapping wing tips – a concept drawn from the flight of the albatross. AlbatrossONE achieves proof-of-concept on a ...

Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a method to detect wind direction with 99% accuracy using seven strain gauges on the flapping wing and a convolutional neural network ...

That’s the aspiration of a company called Volerian, which thinks flapping wings are a better solution. To help show the world how effective the approach can be, it now wants to sell you a ...

T he wing dynamics of flying animal species have been the inspiration for numerous flying robotic systems. While birds and bats typically flap their wings using the force produced by their ...

In nature, flapping-wing flight has unparalleled maneuverability, agility and hovering capability. Unlike fixed-wing and rotary-wing air vehicles, micro air vehicles integrate lifting, thrusting ...
