The concept of the Fan Wing, a novel aircraft vector-force-integrated device that combines a power unit with a fixed wing to generate distributed lift and thrust by creating a low-pressure vortex on the wing?s surface, was studied. To investigate the uni...

Bird tails play a key role in aerodynamics and flight stability. They produce extra lift for takeoff and landing maneuvers, enhance wing functions and maintain stability during flight (keeping the bird from yawing, rolling and pitching, or otherwise losi...
