Maneuvering flight has long been recognized as an important component of the natural behavior of many bird species, but has been the subject of little experimental work. Here we examine the kinematics and neuromuscular control of turning flight in the rose-breasted cockato
Despite recent advances in our understanding of animal flight, the biomechanical determinants of ma...
Flying animals with flapping wings exhibit extraordinary ability to control their flight, they demon...
Birds morph their wing shape to accomplish extraordinary manoeuvres1-4, which are governed by avian-...

SUMMARY The reconfigurable, flapping wings of birds allow for both inertial and aerodynamic modes of...
Bird flight is a remarkable adaptation that has allowed the approximately 10,000 extant species to c...
The complexity of low speed maneuvering flight is apparent from the combination of two critical aspe...
This thesis consists of four major studies: a study of incipient flight behaviors in young birds ov...
Here we present the first measurements of 3D acceleration and turn rate obtained from a bird in wide...
Flap-bounding, a form of intermittent flight, is often exhibited by small birds over their entire ra...
Kinematic and electromyographic data were collected from budgerigars (parakeets), Melopsittacus undu...
SYNOPSIS. While useful in describing the efficiency of maneuvering flight, steady-state (i.e., fixed...
Avian flight cannot fail to impress; from the huge migratory distances covered by albatrosses to the...
