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...

This paper shows a series of tools that help in the research of morphing micro air vehicles (MAVs). These tools are aimed at generating parametric CAD models of wings in a few seconds that can be used in aerodynamic studies, either via CFD directly using...

This research focuses on the development of two bioinspired micro air vehicle (MAV) prototypes, based on morphing wings and wing grid wingtip devices. The morphing wings MAV tries to adapt the aerodynamics of the vehicle to each phase of flight by modify...
