MODELLING THE FLYING BIRD
Pennycuick C.
En esta obra se compara la anatomía de vuelo de aves, murciélagos y pterosaurios, explicando los principios de la evolución del vuelo en vertebrados. El autor explica su programa 'Flight' de modelación, basado en aerodinámica clásica, que ayuda a calcular curvas de rendimiento de vuelo batido o planeo, junto con simulaciones numéricas de migración a larga distancia y las consecuencias de quemar grasa y músculo durante el proceso. También se tratan los temas de la maniobrabilidad en vuelo, requisitos sensoriales del vuelo, adaptaciones especiales de las aves acuáticas, evolución del vuelo animal y métodos de túnel de viento para el estudio del vuelo.
