Chang E, Chin D, Lentink D
Sci Robot
. 2024 Nov;
9(96):eado4535.
PMID: 39565868
Gliding birds lack a vertical tail, yet they fly stably rudderless in turbulence without needing discrete flaps to steer. In contrast, nearly all airplanes need vertical tails to damp Dutch...

PMID: 38408118
Avian takeoff requires peak pectoralis muscle power to generate sufficient aerodynamic force during the downstroke. Subsequently, the much smaller supracoracoideus recovers the wing during the upstroke. How the pectoralis work...

. 2022 Jun;
19(191):20210947.
PMID: 35702862
Birds frequently manoeuvre around plant clutter in complex-structured habitats. To understand how they rapidly negotiate obstacles while flying between branches, we measured how foraging Pacific parrotlets avoid horizontal strings obstructing...

PMID: 33724182
How hummingbirds hum is not fully understood, but its biophysical origin is encoded in the acoustic nearfield. Hence, we studied six freely hovering Anna's hummingbirds, performing acoustic nearfield holography using...

223(Pt 10).
PMID: 32253285
Animal flight requires aerodynamic power, which is challenging to determine accurately Existing methods rely on approximate calculations based on wake flow field measurements, inverse dynamics approaches, or invasive muscle physiological...

Nat Commun
. 2019 Nov;
10(1):5354.
PMID: 31767856
The lift that animal wings generate to fly is typically considered a vertical force that supports weight, while drag is considered a horizontal force that opposes thrust. To determine how...

PMID: 28691925
We describe and explain new advancements in the design of the aerodynamic force platform, a novel instrument that can directly measure the aerodynamic forces generated by freely flying animals and...

Inspiration for wing design: how forelimb specialization enables active flight in modern vertebrates
Chin D, Matloff L, Stowers A, Tucci E, Lentink D
J R Soc Interface
. 2017 Jun;
14(131).
PMID: 28592663
Harnessing flight strategies refined by millions of years of evolution can help expedite the design of more efficient, manoeuvrable and robust flying robots. This review synthesizes recent advances and highlights...

PMID: 28560342
Birds frequently hop and fly between tree branches to forage. To determine the mechanical energy trade-offs of their bimodal locomotion, we rewarded four Pacific parrotlets with a seed for flying...
