A Study of Long-Eared Bat Flight Techniques Could Lead to Developing Better Drones

A study of the flight techniques of long-eared bats by researchers at Lund University could help lead to developing better drones. The study looked at how the animals are able to generate forward motion while flying slowly. Christoffer Johansson Westheim who led the study said, “This specific way of generating power could lead to new aerodynamic control mechanisms for drones in the future, inspired by flying animals.”
