Fig. 2: The LisEagle drone and its morphing capabilities.

From: Sharp turning maneuvers with avian-inspired wing and tail morphing

Fig. 2

a LisEagle drone in cruise flight with a tucked wing and tail. To produce a roll moment, the LisEagle drone can either b asymmetrically fold its wings, or c pitch its wings asymmetrically (clockwise rolling: solid colored; counter-clockwise: light colored). To increase the overall lift force during the bank phase, the LisEagle drone can d increase its wing and tail area from tucked (light colored) to extended (solid colored) and e deflect the tail upward.
