Toward Efficient Bio-Inspired Propulsion: The Effect of Propulsor Shape and Kinematics on System Performance and Efficiency during Bio-inspired Locomotion
Both bird and fish locomotion are thought to be more efficient than the equivalent man-made vehicles driven by propellers/impellers and jet engines. Through studies that decompose the different kinematic and shape effects of these biological systems, we can understand what leads to their high cruisi...
