The influence of flight style on the aerodynamic properties of avian wings as fixed lifting surfaces

The diversity of wing morphologies in birds reflects their variety of flight styles and the associated aerodynamic and inertial requirements. Although the aerodynamics underlying wing morphology can be informed by aeronautical research, important differences exist between planes and birds. In partic...
