The bird-fish hybrid could one day be used to study aquatic animals underwater and then fly back to the base with data.

Inspired by nature, engineers at MIT and EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, have created a new “flapping-wing aerial-aquatic ...

If even the tiniest bit of turbulence during a flight has you reaching for the barf bag, then you’ll never want to climb aboard this Russian contraption that uses flapping wings to take flight. But it ...

Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers have developed a method to detect wind direction with 99% accuracy ...

A student at the University of Toronto has made aviation history with the world's first human-powered ornithopter: Called the Snowbird, it's a flapping-winged aircraft that managed continuous flight.
