Morphing Wings: Bio-inspiration from Birds.
Wing design for aerospace vehicles is a compromise between stability and performance. Depending on the intended flight regime of operation, design parameters for wings are chosen. Thus, the wing for a particular flight condition will not remain optimal in another flight regime. However, birds do not conform to these engineering design laws, as they have…
The Art of Flight
The reason for the noise in aircraft is not only due to the jet engines but also because of the behavior of the air as it travels over the wing and the fuselage surfaces. This is astonishing when we compare this to a bird flying over our head gliding almostsilently. The secret lies in how…
The Future of Wings
If we could fly…how would that be! There has been a relentless effort by human civilisation in improving the aerodynamics of flight in last 100 years. As we progress into a new decade, there has been a renewed interest in in mastering the bird flight, though seems to be far away. This is the natural…
