Feathered robotic wing paves way for flapping drones
Lund University in Sweden recently published a study that looks at upstroke wing-folding and other specific elements of bird flight and notes the potential influence this could have on drone designs. The study demonstrates the advantage of building and studying robotic wings.
Birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke, according to a recent study led by Lund University in Sweden. The results could mean that wing-folding is the next step in increasing the propulsive and aerodynamic efficiency of flapping drones.
