  • Birds’ agile perching maneuvers allow large energy dissipation in short approach flights. Here, authors test an objective that birds are hypothesized to employ in perching maneuvers on an avian-inspired drone and find that it mimics the birds’ behavior, enabling exploration of key morphing actuations.

  • Fixed wing drone flight in dense (urban or forest) environments is challenging due to a need for a large area to turn. Inspired by the avian wing morphing, Enrico Ajanic and colleagues proposed and tested a drone with wings capable of folding and pitching, and a tail capable of folding and deflecting as a strategy to increase the roll moment, lift force, and reduce the turn radius. This finding enables agile drone flight within limited space.
