Bird-inspired rows of flaps can improve flight performance

Inspired by bird feathers called covert feathers, researchers at the University of Princeton have found that rows of flaps can enhance flight during maneuvers such as landing or turbulence. Researchers installed covert-inspired flaps to a remote-controlled aircraft’s wings to show the prevention of stalling. Stalling is a condition that causes a plane to lose lift […]
