Now, the team has succeeded -- through physical experiments and theoretical modeling -- in using the downy canopy of owl feathers as a model to inspire the design of a 3-D printed, wing attachment ...

The serrated edge of owl wings, which help the birds swoop down ... exactly how these could cut noise, and whether these design changes produce universal effects, remained to be seen.

maximize aerodynamics in design of porous airfoils (2-D wings) to improve wind turbines and air vehicles. Many species of owl are able to hunt without being heard by their prey by suppressing the ...

Inspired by a collection of Canadian owl feathers, an international team of engineers is studying the nocturnal birds of prey, hoping the mysteries of their stealthy flight might lead to ...

Using mathematical modeling and wind-tunnel experiments, he showed that the owl's wing is designed for stealth ... A similar comblike design could help eliminate the whooshing sounds of wind ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have reverse-engineered the design of the owl’s silent wings and applied it to wind turbines, allowing them to cut through the air more quietly ...

Many species of owl are able to hunt without being heard by their prey by suppressing the noise of their wings at sound frequencies above 1.6 kilohertz (kHz) -- including the range at which human ...

The serrated edge of owl wings, which help the birds swoop down stealthily on ... exactly how these could cut noise, and whether these design changes produce universal effects, remained to be seen. In ...
