This season the LineFly will make its debut in the United States by autonomously installing Power Line Sentry Bird Flight Diverters (PLS BFDs) on a 115 kV Tristate G&T transmission line in the Pawnee ...
People have been fascinated by bird flight for centuries, but exactly how birds can be so agile in the air remains mysterious. A new study uses modeling and aerodynamics to describe how gulls can ...
While it had been assumed that unstable gliding was the key to agility in bird flight, a collaboration between aerospace engineers and biologists has revealed that stability plays a role. While it had ...
A bird has flown non-stop, apparently, from Alaska to the Australian state of Tasmania. And now this young bar-tailed godwit — a member of the sandpiper family — appears to have set a non-stop ...
