Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Feathered Dinosaur Measured Using Physical Models. Effects of Form on Static Stability and Control Effectiveness

We report the effects of posture and morphology on the static aerodynamic stability and control effectiveness of physical models based on the feathered dinosaur, [Image: see text] Microraptor gui, from the Cretaceous of China. Postures had similar lift and drag coefficients and were broadly similar...
