  • Lift Enhancement of Pliant Wings Through Bio-Mimicry

    Creator:
    Osterberg, Nathaniel Brent
    Abstract:
    Flexible aerodynamic surfaces have been shown to favorably influence flight characteristics at low Reynolds numbers by increasing lift, angle of attack at stall, and resistance to perturbation. The objective of the research presented within this thesis is to investigate the influence of two aspects of flight observed in biological flyers,...
