This project investigates how insects and birds utilize their unique flight mechanics and sensory information to achieve stability and maneuverability. By analyzing their wing movements and control systems, the research aims to develop new models that can inform the design of flapping micro-air vehicles.
Insects bristle with sensors, but how do they exploit this rich sensory information to achieve their extraordinary stability and manoeuvrability?
Bird and insect wings deform in flight, and have passively deployable structures such as feathers and flaps, but how do they exploit these features when aircraft designers shy away from aeroelasticity?
Birds fly without a vertical tailfin, but how do they maintain yaw stability when most aircraft require one to fly safely?
