Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers have developed a method to detect wind direction with 99% accuracy ...

Next time you look up at the sky at a flock of birds, pay close attention. They might not be what you think they are. Scientists at New Mexico Tech are using birds preserved by taxidermy and turning ...

Birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke, according to a recent study. The results could mean that wing-folding is the next step in increasing the propulsive and ...
