Flight delays pose substantial operational and economic challenges for airlines, directly affecting scheduling efficiency, resource allocation, and passenger satisfaction. Accurate prediction of arrival delays is therefore critical for optimizing air...
Aerial insects exhibit agile maneuvers such as sharp braking, saccades, and body flips under disturbances; in contrast, insect-scale aerial robots are limited to tracking smooth trajectories with small acceleration. To achieve similar flight capabili...
Ultrafine particles (UFP, < 100 nm) are abundantly emitted by aircraft, but quantifying their contributions to ambient particle number concentrations (PNC) is challenging due to confounding from local traffic and complex interactions between aircraf...
Drone-based aerial monitoring can play a pivotal role in scaling up efforts to monitor species at risk. In this study, we assessed the population size, occupancy, and spatial interactions of gharials and muggers in the Eastern Rapti River and its tri...
For flying insects, the transition from flight to surface locomotion requires effective touchdown maneuvers that allow stable landings on a variety of surfaces. Landing behaviors of insects are diverse, with some using more controlled flight approach...
Cyanobacterial blooms pose significant threats to aquatic ecosystems and public health due to their ability to release harmful toxins, degrade water quality, disrupt aquatic habitats, and endanger human and animal health through contact or consumptio...
When the beetle lands on the target, the hind wings fold regularly to form smaller wing packages and are hidden on the ventral side of the elytra due to the interaction between the elytra and abdomen. Its complex folding pattern is attributed to the ...
Regarding the transportation of people, commodities, and other items, aeroplanes are an essential need for society. Despite the generally low danger associated with various modes of transportation, some accidents may occur. The creation of a machine ...
This paper describes the tailless control system design of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle in a four-winged configuration, which can provide high control authority to be stable and agile in flight conditions from hovering to maneuvering flights. Th...
Flying insects have developed two distinct adaptive strategies to minimize wing damage during collisions. One strategy includes an elastic joint at the leading edge, which is evident in wasps and beetles, while another strategy features an adaptive a...
