Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a method to detect wind ...
AMES, Iowa – From somewhere back behind the Iowa State University Icing Research Tunnel, Rye Waldman called out to see if Hui Hu was ready for a spray of cold water. The wind tunnel was down to 10 ...
Wind turbines are great for clean energy but they aren't perfect. One issue is how loud they can be. To address this, designers are using owls as a model for making their turbines quieter. One company ...
A groundbreaking study from the Institute of Science Tokyo may change the future of robotic flight control by utilizing bio-inspired wind sensing techniques. Researchers have developed a method that ...
The core advantage of a tilt‑wing in hover is that the entire wing sits inside a powerful, uniform propeller slipstream. That slipstream acts like a wind‑tunnel moving with the aircraft, smoothing out ...
