The dataset includes experimental data for the FFA-W3-211 airfoil, with a chord of c= 0.6m, tested at the low-speed low turbulence tunnel at TU Delft. The experiment is carried out for static chord-ba
The diverse hummingbird family (Trochilidae) has unique adaptations for nectarivory, among which is the ability to sustain hover-feeding. As hummingbirds mainly feed while hovering, it is crucial to m
Matlab code used to calculate numerically the area below the trajectories in the presence of air drag for the three animal species considered in this work (Fig. 4)
Many flying animals use both flapping and gliding flight as part of their routine behaviour. These two kinematic patterns impose conflicting requirements on wing design for aerodynamic efficiency and,
