It seems intuitive that lift is created by the airfoil shape of a bird’s wing; aerodynamics 101. But how does it create propulsion (thrust)? On the downstroke, air is pushed down and the airfoil shape creates lift. On the upstroke, air is pushed backwards, creating thrust. At the end of the upstroke, the bird will flick it’s wingtip which aids in creating forward momentum. The wing tip is especially important. On the downstroke the wing tip creates a swirling vortex of air that interacts with other wind currents created by the wing to create efficient aerodynamics. The angle of attack, the steepness of the wing as it meets the oncoming air, is critical for lift and thrust. The steeper the angle of attack, the greater the lift and thrust. Swans may be the most beautiful examples of birds in flight, as these Trumpeter Swans demonstrate elegance in air. https://bit.ly/3Jenldx #trumpeterswans #wisconsin #flight #birds #birdflight #health #naturephotography #landscapephotography #natureart #healthcareinteriordesign #healthcaredesign #henrydomkefineart #artconsultant #artconsulting #artinhealthcare #largescaleart #hospitalart #evidencebased #evidencebasedart #artinhealthcare #naturefirst #henrydomke #wallart

🦅 Falcon: The Ultimate Master of Aerodynamics! ✈️ Did you know that the peregrine falcon is the fastest bird in the world, diving at speeds of over 240 mph (386 km/h)? 🌪️ How do they achieve such breathtaking speeds? The secret lies in their mastery of aerodynamics and nature’s physics. ✅ Streamlined Body: Falcons have evolved with a sleek, teardrop-shaped body, minimizing air resistance—just like an airplane’s fuselage. This allows them to cut through the air with minimal drag. ✅ Wing Shape: Their long, pointed wings create optimal lift while reducing drag, similar to modern aircraft wings, which are designed for both lift and efficiency. 🛫 ✅ Controlled Dive (Gravity’s Aid): When hunting, a falcon tucks its wings tightly to its body, reducing drag further. This streamlined dive is akin to how an aircraft utilizes gravity and controlled descent to increase speed. ✅ Feather Flexibility: Falcons adjust their feathers to control airflow, stabilizing their dive. Likewise, airplane wing flaps are carefully manipulated to maintain balance, speed, and altitude during flight. 🔧 When engineers design modern airplanes, they look to nature for inspiration—and falcons have perfected the laws of aerodynamics long before we took to the skies. 🌍 The next time you see a plane or a falcon soaring overhead, remember that nature and technology are deeply intertwined—pushing the boundaries of speed and innovation. 🌟 #Aerospace #Aviation #Aerodynamics #NatureInspires #Innovation #Engineering #Physics

Gyroscope applications depend on rigidity in space and precession. Precession occurs when a spinning rotor deflects due to an applied force, moving 90 degrees ahead in the rotation direction. Similarly, an airplane's propeller acts like a gyroscope: when deflected, it results in a pitching or yawing moment, depending on the force's application point.

Flies Through the Air with the Greatest of Ease AWE: The Barn Swallow feeds primarily on flying insects and has had to adapt to capturing these insects midflight, which requires controlling their speed and the ability to change directions or flip rapidly. INSPIRE: Barn Swallow tail feathers produce lift or drag depending on how they are used, providing lift and drag at slower speeds and allowing tight turns before the point of stalling. They work to cause opposing forces on the two tail feathers to undergo a sharp turn midflight. ACT: By understanding and learning from the mechanics behind the barn swallow's flight strategy, designers may improve efficient flight maneuverability within aviation and aeronautics.

✈️ The Magic of Flight: Understanding Lift! ✈️🌬️ Ever wondered how airplanes stay up in the sky? It's all about the science of lift, and here's a simple breakdown using Bernoulli's Principle! 🚀 🔹 Airflow Above = Lower Pressure 🔹 Airflow Below = Higher Pressure This pressure difference creates an upward force known as lift, which counteracts gravity and keeps the plane airborne. 🌟 Next time you see a plane soaring through the sky, remember that it's all thanks to this fascinating aerodynamic principle! #Aviation #Science #Engineering #Bernoulli #Lift #Aerospace #Aeronautics

The "Great Flight Diagram", adapted from Tennekes, sheds light on key aerodynamic principles governing flight for various species and aircraft sizes. It delves into scaling effects, wing loading, and the contrast between unsteady aerodynamics in small flyers and steady aerodynamics in larger ones. Key Takeaways: - **Scaling Effects in Flight:** Weight plays a crucial role in determining cruising speed for flying creatures and aircraft. The dataset highlights how increased weight correlates with higher speeds needed for flight maintenance. - **Wing Loading and Efficiency:** Smaller flyers like insects, with low wing loading, can efficiently generate lift at lower speeds, unlike larger flyers such as geese and commercial jets that require higher speeds for lift maintenance. - **Unsteady vs. Steady Aerodynamics:** Tiny flyers, like insects, utilize unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms for lift generation, while larger birds and aircraft operate in a steady-state aerodynamic regime optimized for high-speed, long-distance travel. This diagram offers a comprehensive insight into the intricate aerodynamic principles that underpin flight for a diverse range of biological and engineered flyers, showcasing how these principles scale across different species and weights.
