Feather-Inspired Wing Flaps Could Boost Aircraft Lift and Performance, Claims New Study
Researchers have developed feather-inspired passive flaps for aircraft wings, showing promising results. Wind tunnel tests revealed that these flaps could increase lift by 45%, reduce drag by 31%, and prevent stalls. By mimicking the structure of bird wings, these flaps respond naturally to airflow, enhancing flight performance. The flaps also expanded the safe flight...
