    I think the big breakthrough that aircraft engineers came up with was that they needed to produce multiple specialized air foils to do all that a bird can accomplish with its flexible organic wings. They couldn't design a mobile flapping structure that was sturdy enough to stand up to all the various forces it would endure, so they split it up between a fixed solid wing to hold most of the weight, smaller wings that could be manipulated to steer, and a third set that could provide thrust by spinning in a vertical circle instead of trying to reciprocate.

    Another big thing to realise about birds is a lot of the body movement is also to keep the head stable - I've never properly researched it but I reckon that stability is key in the brain being able to process the environment and to make adjustments for controlled flight.
    Even when pigeons walk, their head stays stationary, their body moves forward leaving the head beyjnd, then the head snaps forward and locks in place ahead of the body again as the body steps forward.
    The hummingbird clip shows this fascinating behaviour really nicely.

      ⁠@@jakubpollak2067*most birds don’t move their eyes
      A few do. And some move them very little within their orbits. They just don’t have the same level of ocular muscles as mammals.
      Hawks, for instance, can shift their eyes, as is necessary for binocular and stereoptic vision. Like most predator birds (raptors), their eyes are more forward facing.
      Prey birds (like pigeons) have side facing eyes and no binocular vision. But their field of vision is remarkable, and necessary given the need to see what’s sneaking up on them. There are even some birds who essentially have 360 vision, at least in terms of detecting movement.
      Because, y’know, stuff wants to eat them.
      But saying all birds have no eye muscles and thus cannot move their eyes is technically untrue.

    In the canard wing configuration, the horizontal stabilizer contributes to lift as well making for a very efficient airframe design. In the more common wing configuration, the horizontal stabilizer is located near the rear and acts as an inverted wing actually reducing lift in exchange for flight stability.

    The weight on a bird's tail is in lieu of a vertical stabilizer. If the bird rolls the tail to the right, the bird yaws to the left. If there was no air pressure on the tail then it would provide only horizontal flight stability but not yaw stability.
    Most of the forward thrust of a bird, particularly larger birds such as hawk and eagle, is in the wrist and primary feathers. The secondaries attached to the arms provide some lift but little or no thrust. Basically the bird *swims* through the air scooping air with its hands then closing the fist and rapidly moving hands forward then opening again. This power cycle is long and deliberate, the recovery stroke is quick. This maintains a reasonably high duty cycle of providing thrust. Slotted primary feathers allow less resistance to air flowing between feathers on the upstroke.

      @solandri69 11 месяцев назад +2

      If you look at pterosaur fossils, you realize they didn't have a tail. How the heck did they fly? When Paul MacCready designed a remote controlled flying pterosaur, it dawned on him - they used their head in lieu of a tail. Unfortunately having the control surfaces in front is dynamically unstable. Like how your car tends to go straight if you let go of the steering wheel (dynamically stable). But if you let go while moving in reverse, any small turn grows larger and larger (dynamically unstable). So the pterosaur had to constantly adjust its head position to keep itself flying. MacCready crashed a lot of them before he got a working computer algorithm which could provide real-time head motions to keep the thing flying.

    Depends on how fast you want to go, but people got another option - hide wings and use different trust then.
    Wings will be important in urban environment, since all you need is thin foil and power of air/wind to generate trust without too much noise that hi speed engines do, if we fly in the near future, it may be perfect way for quiet take off.
    Basically major problem for why there are no flying cars is this - noisy and hard take off.
    First will come EV drones with many propellers(less noise than few), if those propellers are quiet enough it may not come tho.

    I think it's important to note that the tail of planes is an airfoil but it just pushes down instead of up. It does this because the center of mass is placed in front of the center of lift for stall characteristics.
    A plane with canards can have them create lift and avoid a tail. A flying wing design like a b2 doesnt even have a tail.

    Also, bird wing has something else many don't realize. If you will try to reproduce it with a plastic film wing you will fail. It's the difference in air resistance when moving the wing up versus moving it down

    It's a simple secret noone realizes: It you make a drone GLIDE, like a plane, it will save energy wasted on propelling it's blades. Simple, but EFFECTIVE

    Hummingbirds basically hover almost exactly the way humans tread water.
    In fact, I'd wager that a human could fly underwater exactly the same way a bird does in the air!
    It would be very similar to a stingray.
    That would be a VERY cool experiment!

    Helicopter can change direction almost as fast as a bird, as long as you are ok with potentially breaking it, because it doesn't have lift only trust created by the lift of the propellers, minus a barrel roll due to having only 2 vectors of thrust, but a drone can do all maneuvers because it is a quadcopter, if you want to "yaw" in place just turn off two of the engines, the two counterbalancing said rotation pitch and tilt come from slowing down two of the engines, and for barrel roll you just need some momentum and to turn two of the engines in reverse while boosting the other two. Some clever math stronger engines and you can make any other maneuver you want at the cost of battery lifespan.
