What is it about?
This research explores how changing the angle of a non-symmetrical airfoil affects its performance when flapping like a bird's wing. The study examines different flapping speeds and angles to optimize lift and thrust. Understanding these dynamics can help design more efficient flying robots and improve aerodynamics in various flight conditions.
