Aerodynamics of intermittent bounds in flying birds
Flap-bounding is a common flight style in small birds in which flapping phases alternate with flexed-wing bounds. Body lift is predicted to be essential to making this flight style an aerodynamically attractive flight strategy. To elucidate the contributions of the body and tail to lift and drag during the flexed-wing bound phase, we used particle image velocimetry (PIV) and measured properties...
متن کاملFlying snakes: Aerodynamics of body cross-sectional shape
Chrysopelea paradisi, also known as the flying snake, possesses one of the most unique forms of aerial locomotion found in nature, using its entire body as a dynamic lifting surface without the use of wings or membranes. Unlike other airborne creatures, this species lacks appendages to aid in controlling its flight trajectory and producing lift. The snake exhibits exception gliding and maneuver...
متن کاملThe aerodynamics of Argentavis, the world's largest flying bird from the Miocene of Argentina.
We calculate the flight performance of the gigantic volant bird Argentavis magnificens from the upper Miocene ( approximately 6 million years ago) of Argentina using a computer simulation model. Argentavis was probably too large (mass approximately 70 kg) to be capable of continuous flapping flight or standing takeoff under its own muscle power. Like extant condors and vultures, Argentavis woul...
متن کاملA computational model of the flight dynamics and aerodynamics of a jellyfish-like flying machine
We explore theoretically the aerodynamics of a recently fabricated jellyfish-like flying machine (Ristroph & Childress, J. R. Soc. Interface, vol. 11 (92), 2014, 20130992). This experimental device achieves flight and hovering by opening and closing opposing sets of wings. It displays orientational or postural flight stability without additional control surfaces or feedback control. Our model ‘...
متن کاملAn Online Estimation of Rotational Velocity of Flying Ball Via Aerodynamics
We propose a novel estimation method of the rotational velocity of a flying ball as well as its position and translational velocity via aerodynamics model by measuring the ball trajectory using the middle speed cameras for table tennis system. The aerodynamics model is complex nonlinear and the measured data of the ball trajectory has quantization errors because the size of the ball is very sma...
