Description
A flying car needs wings that fold away on the road yet fly well in the air, and owls offer a proven template. Zhengjun Li, Yuchen Cao, and Dehao Zhao took the Eurasian eagle-owl's wing as their model. They compared owl species, chose this one, rebuilt its wing shape from photographs, and checked the digital model's accuracy point by point.
They sliced the wing into cross-sections, kept the sections with the best simulated airflow behavior, and used a formal coupling method to transfer the owl's features into a folding wing design. Final flow simulations showed the owl-inspired wing lifted better, dragged less, and flew more stably than a conventional design. The study offers a worked example of borrowing bird anatomy for dual-mode vehicles.
