| Summary: | Birds are known for their agility, manoeuvrability,
and flexibility during flight. These features allow their ability to
fly under a large range of flight conditions. Bio flyers and bio
aerodynamic/fluid surfaces have inspired many to perform
experiments and simulations as well as to relate their results
to engineering applications. Wings specifically have been the
most inspirational element. Aerodynamic forces, structure,
unsteady flow, fluid-structure interaction, flow control, flow
adaptive elements and mechanisms, flow vortices, flapping
mechanisms, and hovering flight of birds are examples of
research interests. This paper presents an overview of prior
analyses and experiments on the aerodynamic performance and
mechanical properties of birds in steady non-flapping flight. |
