Design and Experimental Study of a Flapping–Twist Coupled Biomimetic Flapping-Wing Mechanism
DronesMedium and large-sized birds exhibit remarkable agility and maneuverability in flight, with their flapping motion encompassing degrees of freedom in flapping, twist, and swing, which enables them to adapt effectively to harsh ecological environments ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.Intranasal midazolam–butorphanol premedication in traumatised buzzards (Buteo spp.) aims to provide safer sedation by minimising mask induction stress. This method significantly reduces sevoflurane requirements while maintaining stable cardiopulmonary parameters. It is a safe and practical alternative that enhances patient welfare and induction quality.

Measurement of Wing Loads during Flapping Flight
, 2013 Ongoing research at BYU with the Flapping Flight Research Group (FFRG) is aimed at uncovering the physics behind flapping flight. Discoveries in this field could produce new aircraft designs and technolo- gies, as well as broaden our understanding of ...

Wind, waves, wing loading and the flight energetics of giant petrels
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1979-1993, July 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wind is a major factor driving seabird movement and energetics, the effects of which are modulated by morphology. Developments in tagging technology now make it possible to test predictions from aerodynamic theory about the effects of wind on flight performance in free ...

Trajectory optimization of a flapping-wing robot in a wind field
工程科学学报Owing to wave obstruction, the speed of the horizontal wind field decreases as it approaches the sea surface. Consequently, the wind field that increases with height is referred to as a gradient wind field.

Using wingbeat frequency to estimate mass gain
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2205-2217, July 2026.Abstract Energy intake is a fundamental currency in ecology that is critical to reproductive success, survival and lifetime fitness. Measuring foraging success in wild animals via biologgers has been a long‐standing challenge but is essential to understanding the mechanisms underlying population dynamics and species distributions.
