Role of Active Morphing in the Aerodynamic Performance of Flapping Wings in Formation Flight
Migratory birds have the ability to save energy during flight by arranging themselves in a V-formation. This arrangement enables an increase in the overall efficiency of the group because the wake vortices shed by each of the birds provide additional lift and thrust to every member. Therefore, the a...
