Researchers at the Engineering School at Princeton University have taken inspiration from birds to improve flight performance and safety in aircraft. The researchers deployed rows of flaps to the wing ...

Researchers have designed flexible, bat-like wings that boost lift and improve flight performance. This innovation could lead to more efficient drones or energy-harvesting technologies. In 1934, ...

In 1934, French entomologist Antoine Magnan wrote that bumblebees "should not be able to fly," as their small wings should ...

What if urban air taxis could, like birds, vary the configuration of their wings in flight? The answer to such questions could soon become reality through morphing wing technology assisted by ...

In 1934, French entomologist Antoine Magnan wrote that bumblebees “should not be able to fly”, as their small wings should theoretically not be able to produce enough lift. It took modern high-speed ...
