This inspired the design of flapping microrobots with self-deploying, self-retracting wings. Most insects can rest their wings against their bodies for protection and deploy them to power flight.
Scientists have recently developed a remarkable equation that accurately describes the flapping frequencies of various flying and diving creatures, including birds, insects, bats, and whales. This ...
Research based on uniquely preserved 3D pterosaur fossils reveals varied flight styles among these ancient creatures. CT scans showed distinct internal bone structures adapted for either soaring or ...
