Abstract: Abstract The wide speed range and large flight envelope of the hypersonic vehicle require that its aerodynamic configuration still has good aerodynamic performance at low Mach number. Therefore, the variable Mach number waverider is proposed… read more here.

Abstract: A gliding bird's ability to stabilize its flight path is as critical as its ability to produce sufficient lift. In flight, birds often morph the shape of their wings, but the consequences of avian wing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.170307
Abstract: Animal wings are lightweight and flexible; hence, during flapping flight their shapes change. It has been known that such dynamic wing morphing reduces aerodynamic cost in insects, but the consequences in vertebrate flyers, particularly birds,… read more here.
