While it had been assumed that unstable gliding was the key to agility in bird flight, a collaboration between aerospace engineers and biologists has revealed that stability plays a role. While it had ...

Harvey mentioned one such study, in which a bird-inspired drone could transition between stable and unstable gliding by sweeping its wings back. However, those researchers found that controlling the ...
