Avian secret: The key to agile bird flight is switching quickly between stable and unstable gliding
New edition of Inman’s Engineering Vibration textbook released
Best-selling book in its field has shaped the education of thousands of students worldwide
Bird-like wings could help drones keep stable in gusts
“3D morphing” wings could help small aircraft safely navigate windy urban streets and land with shorter approaches.
