Lissaman, Shollenberger and formation flight in birds.
For centuries, mankind has been fascinated by V-formation flight in birds. Back in AD 79, Pliny the Elder noted that flocks of geese flew ‘like fast galleys, cleaving the air more easily than if they drove at it with a straight front’, and since then, numerous ideas have been proposed to explain the function of the V-shaped flocks that are a such a familiar sight. Many of these explanations oft...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
Airborne Seeker Application in Three Dimensional Formation Flight of UAVs
This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...
متن کاملThe Flight of Birds
In a previous paper (Brown, 1948), the movements of the wing of a pigeon in slow flight were analysed. With the help of a new photographic technique further work on the flight movements at different forward velocities has been carried out. In this paper the analysis is extended with additional information obtained from normal cine-photography. Certain improvements and simplifications in the fla...
متن کاملHovering and intermittent flight in birds.
Two styles of bird locomotion, hovering and intermittent flight, have great potential to inform future development of autonomous flying vehicles. Hummingbirds are the smallest flying vertebrates, and they are the only birds that can sustain hovering. Their ability to hover is due to their small size, high wingbeat frequency, relatively large margin of mass-specific power available for flight an...
