Sentence examples for wing flight from inspiring English sources

It will be the last fixed wing flight out of Ny Alesund for a while.

The creation of micro air vehicles (MAVs) of the same general sizes and weight as natural fliers has spawned renewed interest in flapping wing flight.

However, one of the biggest limitations on rotary wing flight is their inability to fly in degraded visual conditions in the critical phases of approach and landing.

We identify the crucial roles of capillary-gravity wave drag and oscillatory surface tension forces which dominate interfacial flight, showing that the air-water interface presents a radically modified force landscape for flapping wing flight compared with air.

This causes a unique dynamic time-lag phenomena of lift generation for FRW, unlike the normal flapping wing flight vehicle driven by its own motor to actively rotate its wings.

Asked for an opinion on the engineering challenges of flapping, Dr Mirko Kovac, director of the Aerial Robotics Lab at Imperial College London, tells us: "Flapping wing flight has several advantages compared to propeller based solutions, including the ability for high manoeuvrability and potentially low energy consumption during forward flight.

To that end, we explore the challenges of scaling flapping-wing flight to attain greater lift forces.

Almost periodic orbits are obtained, but the model in the searched flapping-of-wing flight is unstable.

This paper presents a model of an agile tail-sitter aircraft, which can operate as a helicopter as well as capable of transition to fixed-wing flight.

The objective of this paper is to clarify the principle of stabilization in flapping-of-wing flight of a butterfly, which is a rhythmic and cyclic motion.

Because the obtained periodic flapping-of-wing flight is unstable, a feedback control system is designed, and a stable flight is realized.
