Bird-Inspired Wing Design Could Boost Performance of Aeroplanes, Claims Study
Researchers are exploring the potential of bird-inspired wing flaps to improve airplane performance. These featherlike flaps, designed to mimic the covert feathers on bird wings, could significantly enhance lift, reducing drag and improving stability. Tests show that the new design could boost lift by up to 45% and decrease drag by 31%. The flaps a...
