Development of a Biologically Inspired Multi-Modal Wing Model for Aerial-Aquatic Robotic Vehicles
This paper presents a numerical model of a morphing wing supporting the development of a biologically inspired vehicle capable of aerial and aquatic of locomotion. The model draws inspiration from the seabird Uria aalge, the common guillemot. It is implemented within a parametric study associated wi...
