The spectrum of animal flight: insects to pterosaurs
Progress in Aerospace Sciences, 2000Abstract This paper summarises available data on the geometry and flight characteristics of all types of winged animals, including insects, gliders, birds, bats and pterosaurs. Helicopter momentum stream tube theory has been adapted for the estimation of the upper size limits for flying animals in gliding, hovering, solitary and formation flight, and

On numerical modeling of animal swimming and flight
Computational Mechanics, 2013Aquatic and aerial animals have developed their superior and complete mechanisms of swimming and flight. These mechanisms bring excellent locomotion performances to natural creatures, including high efficiency, long endurance ability, high maneuverability and low noise, and can potentially provide inspiration for the design of the man-made vehicles. As

On the aerodynamics of animal flight in ground effect
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 1991Abstract Flight in ground effect above a flat, smooth surface may give an animal considerable performance advantages, including a reduction in cost of transport of up to 15%, and a reduction in mechanical flight power of as much as 35%, compared with values for flight out of ground effect.

Photographs of animals in flight
2017This chapter will deal with several important aspects that need to be considered when creating exciting and insightful visual material. Photographs of flight are usually “action photographs” that require quick reaction. The wings of insects move so rapidly that they can only be “frozen” over fractions of milliseconds.

The fascination of animal flight
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2005The ability to fly in animals is one of the masterpieces of evolution. The ecological advantages include a rapid escape mechanism, and rapid and relatively (energetically) cheap transport. Even though humans have been interested in bird flight for centuries, the interest remains at a high level and modern research is steadily revealing new findings ...

Metabolic changes in the animals subjected to space flight
Acta Astronautica, 1982The activity of the enzymes involved in aminoacid metabolism (tyrosine aminotransferase, TAT, tryptophan pyrrolase TP, serine dehydratase, SD) with rapid response to glucocorticoids and enzymes requiring for activity increase repeated administration of corticosterone (alanine aminotransferase, ALT, aspartate aminotransferase, AST) in liver, the changes
