Birds, bats, and bees all use distinct muscles to deploy and retract their wings. Smaller insects, given the less space available, may be different and scientists are still debating if they use indeed ...
Instead of "fly like an eagle," perhaps it should be "fly like a condor." A newly published study notes that Andean condors are able to fly more than 100 miles without flapping their wings once. The ...
A new study into the flight characteristics of condors — the largest soaring birds on Earth — finds that they rarely flap their wings once airborne. Condors are capable of flying for over a hundred ...
Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers have developed a method to detect wind direction with 99% accuracy ...
A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed by a University of Bristol team, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need for conventional ...

Bird‑like robots promise greater flexibility and control than drones
A bird banking in a crosswind doesn't rely on spinning blades. Its wings flex, twist and respond instantly to its environment ...
Four years ago we told you about the MetaFly, a remote-control flapping-wing flying model insect made by French startup Bionic Bird (which did previously release a model bionic bird). Well, the ...
