Rotational bistable mechanisms for morphing wings and beyond. [PDF]
Commun EngLow-energy-use morphing structures can greatly impact various engineering disciplines. In aeronautics, aircraft wings must adapt to diverse flight conditions to ensure optimally shaped wings for enhanced performance, maneuverability, and efficiency. Shape morphing enables aircraft to maximize aerodynamic performance but often requires complex system ...

Raptor wing morphing with flight speed [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2021 In gliding flight, birds morph their wings and tails to control their flight trajectory and speed. Using high-resolution videogrammetry, we reconstructed accurate and detailed three-dimensional geometries of gliding flights for three raptors (barn owl,Tyto alba; tawny owl,Strix aluco, and goshawk,Accipiter gentilis).
