The flapping technology, for instance, might be scaled up to propel ships. And if fins were put on the side of a ship they could extract energy from its rolling motion and use that to help drive a ...

Robotic Avian Wing Explains Aerodynamic Advantages of Wing Folding and Stroke Tilting in Flapping Flight. Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2022; 2200148 DOI: 10.1002/aisy.202200148 ...

A bionic aircraft, developed by researchers at China's Northwestern Polytechnical University, broke the #GuinnessWorldRecord for flight time of a flapping-wing drone on a single battery charge ...

In other words, the flapping wings act like the spoiler on the back of a racing car, which aerodynamically pushes the car towards the track for better traction. Dial proposes that this new-found ...

Flapping in the wind To provide further evidence that this flapping is related to the external medium the researchers also captured images of a flapping soap film in sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6), which ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a "curious 'flapping' motion" around the star HBC 627, nicknamed the "Bat Shadow." The star is part of the Serpens Nebula, approximately 1,400 light-years ...

These seabirds spend most of their lives in flight, only returning to land to breed on remote sub-Antarctic islands ...

China is developing a super-sensitive radar that can detect the wing-flapping of a mosquito up to 2km (1.2 miles) away, according to a senior scientist involved in the government research project.

Leading Vietnamese auteur Tran Anh Hung is credited as a “special consultant” on “Flapping in the Middle of Nowhere,” and it’s not hard to imagine his own 1993 debut, “The Scent of ...

“The tarp on his winterized boat had sort of been flapping in the wind,” his stepson Robert Duffy told CNN’s Piers Morgan. ‘A million questions’ for suspect ...
