A New Approach to Animal Flight Mechanics

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1979
ABSTRACT The mechanics of lift and thrust generation by flying animals are studied by considering the distribution of vorticity in the wake. As wake generation is not continuous, the momentum jet theory, which has previously been used, is not satisfactory, and the vortex theory is a more realistic model. The vorticity shed

The Imitation of nature? Flapping flight and animal forms as models for human flight

History and Technology, 1995
Human flight has a dual historiography. Earlier accounts often derived from writers who had been professionally engaged in aeronautics and who also had a historical bent More recently aviation has become a subject of interest for academically‐based historians.
