When in ground effect, bats are able to fly aerodynamically in a manner that is much more efficient than our own machines. The ripples in the wings themselves allows for significant conservation of energy and could be utilized in many of our own machines as well.
Paper, Chiton scale-inspired flexible armor
Chiton scales which are rigid when necessary in order to protect the chiton from attacks or obstacles are also simultaneously able to be flexible, hence making for a great bio-inspired design. In this paper, a design for armor, specifically knee armor, due to […]
