Artificial insect wings of diverse morphology for flapping-wing micro air vehicles.

25 Aug 2009 The development of flapping-wing micro air vehicles (MAVs) demands a systematic exploration of the available design space to identify ways in which the unsteady mechanisms governing flapping-wing flight can best be utilized for producing optimal ... Read more...

Wyoming Cloud Lidar: instrument description and applications.

Aug 2009 The Wyoming Cloud Lidar (WCL), a compact two-channel elastic lidar, was designed to obtain cloud measurements together with the Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR) on the University of Wyoming King Air and the National Science Foundation/National Center of ... Read more...

The effect of overwing hatch placement on evacuation from smaller transport aircraft.

30 Jul 2009 Overwing exits are installed on a number of smaller transport aircraft. With a traditional overwing exit, once released, the hatch is not attached to the fuselage and will fall into the cabin. To operate, the hatch has to be brought inwards, ... Read more...
