Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a method to detect wind ...

Both multicopter and fixed-wing drones use up a lot of battery power when fighting the wind. The Morpho VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) drone addresses this problem with morphing wings that adapt ...

Wind turbines are great for clean energy but they aren't perfect. One issue is how loud they can be. To address this, designers are using owls as a model for making their turbines quieter. One company ...
