UniSA aerospace engineer Javaan Chahl says he’s fascinated by flight, particularly birds and insects such as dragonflies. “Our collective interest is taking biology and trying to turn it into ...

"There are existing ornithopters, but, until now, they were too inefficient and slow to be agile. We have overcome these issues with our flapping wing prototype, achieving the same thrust generated by ...

A drone prototype that mimics the aerobatic manoeuvres of one of the world's fastest birds, the swift, is being developed by an international team of engineers in the latest example of biologically ...

China has demonstrated advanced unmanned technology for counter-terrorism at an international forum, including intelligent drone swarms and bird-like ornithopters. These technologies help users ...

We’re becoming used to drones flying like miniature helicopters – but these ones, being researched here, will fly like one of the world’s fastest birds. UniSA aerospace engineer Javaan Chahl says he’s ...

An international team of aerospace engineers is working on building the prototype of a drone that imitates the manoeuvres of the swift, a bird that flies at a pretty fast speed. The research team, ...
