An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest species to generate enough lift to fly. The study, published today in eLife as the final Version of ...

Scientists show a bionic approach combining features of a seagull's wing with an engineered flow control accessory, known as a Gurney flap, can greatly improve wind turbine performance. To achieve the ...

Scientists undertook a study of dragonfly wings in order to better understand the relationship between a corrugated wing structure and vortex motions. They discovered that corrugated wings exhibit ...
