Wing flexibility and design for animal flight
The wings of flying animals change shape dramatically during flight, yet the control and effects of these shape changes have received little attention. In Chapter 1, I discuss the potential effects of wing flexibility and dynamic shape changes in flying vertebrates (who can actively control wing …

A 3-Dimensional Evaluation of Wing Movement in Ground Birds During Flap-Running and Level Flight: An Otogenetic Study
… in ground birds during flap-running and Level Flight: an ontogenetic study Chair: Dr. Kenneth P. Dial The science of animal flight requires the quantification of wing movement over a range of behaviors. Despite numerous studies of avian locomotion, we are only beginning to grasp the intricacies …

Computational Analysis of Straight and Maneuvering Bat Flight Aerodynamics
Bats have many impressive flight characteristics such as the ability to rapidly change direction, carry substantial loads, and maintain good flight efficiency. For several years, researchers have been working towards an understanding of the specific aerodynamic phenomena which relate the unique …
