Synopsis: *
This research aims to study and mimic the lift of a barn swallow via computational and experimental analysis. By meeting finite dynamic constraints such as flapping amplitudes and frequency. This bird was selected because of its maneuverability, efficiency and conical morphing wing-flapping motion. An animation of a simplified lifting process was obtained by creating a three-dimensional scan of a representative 'bird from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
