Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic characteristics of a bionic morphing flap

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2023
Birds adapt to the changing flight conditions by performing intricate feather-movements to manipulate the airflow. The avian wings often undergo seamless transformations at the trailing-edge to achieve camber-reflexes for extended flight envelope.
