As per to research published on October 28 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Traditional aircraft wings typically use flaps and spoilers, controlled by mechanical systems to ...

Rows of flaps inspired by bird wing feathers improve airfoil performance by boosting lift, reducing drag and mitigating stall.

If you ever sit in an airplane row overlooking a wing, then you probably notice multiple flaps along its edges that adjust ...

Modern airplanes are inspired by birds but Princeton researchers find one aspect, we have not used so far and it could help ...

Princeton engineers have found that adding rows of flaps to a remote-controlled aircraft’s wings improves flight performance ...

Engineers found a way to help airplanes avoid stall with lightweight plastic flaps that flutter with pressure changes. The flaps mimick a class of feathers that are key to birds' most daring aerial ...

The flaps and landing gear should be deployed as well with the pilot being very careful not to exceed VFE or VLE speeds. If ...

The technology echoes bird biology, specifically covert wing feathers that birds use when landing or facing turbulent winds.
