Biplane wing planform and flight performance of the feathered dinosaur Microraptor gui.
Microraptor gui, a four-winged dromaeosaur from the Early Cretaceous of China, provides strong evidence for an arboreal-gliding origin of avian flight. It possessed asymmetric flight feathers not only on the manus but also on the pes. A previously published reconstruction shows that the hindwing of Microraptor supported by a laterally extended leg would have formed a second pair of wings in tet...
متن کاملThe Extent of the Preserved Feathers on the Four-Winged Dinosaur Microraptor gui under Ultraviolet Light
BACKGROUND The holotype of the theropod non-avian dinosaur Microraptor gui from the Early Cretaceous of China shows extensive preservation of feathers in a halo around the body and with flight feathers associated with both the fore and hindlimbs. It has been questioned as to whether or not the feathers did extend into the halo to reach the body, or had disassociated and moved before preservatio...
متن کاملAerodynamic Hovering Performance of Rigid and Flexible Wing Planform Shapes
Wing geometric parameters govern the aerodynamic performance of insects and micro aerial vehicles. Previous studies of wing shapes have been limited to rigid wings. The aerodynamic hovering performance of rigid and flexible wing shapes for aspect ratio AR = 1.5 is evaluated computationally at the Reynolds number (Re) of 400. The three-dimensional viscous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations a...
متن کاملA Lateral Directional Flight Control System for the MOB Blended Wing Body Planform
Abstract: In this work, analysis and design of a lateral directional flight control system for a Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft is considered. The BWB configuration chosen for this purpose is the European MOB (Multidisciplinary Optimization Blended Wing Body) planform. The MOB configuration does not have vertical control surfaces for directional stability, instead small winglets with rudders ...
متن کاملthe effects of planning on accuracy and complexity of iranian efl students’ written narrative task performance
this study compared the different effects of form-focused guided planning vs. meaning-focused guided planning on iranian pre-intermediate students’ task performance. the study lasted for three weeks and concentrated on eight english structures. forty five pre-intermediate iranian students were randomly assigned to three groups of guided planning focus-on-form group (gpfg), guided planning focus...
