Aerodynamic modeling of a 2-dimensional airfoil with a covert-inspired deployable flap using a discrete vortex method
… use a passively-deployed feather called the covert feather to correct for flow reversal over their wings during high-angle-of-attack maneuvers, thereby delaying the onset of stall. The overall research goal is to extend the understanding of the covert feather's role during flight in nature …

Covert-inspired flow control devices for lift enhancement and stall mitigation
… aeroelastic devices used by birds, known as the covert feathers, has been considered as a natural flow-control device for mitigating flow separation, enhancing lift, and delaying stall. In order to improve the mission adaptability of small-scale UAVs, this dissertation focuses on the design and …
