Adaptive morphing for stable, resilient, and energy-efficient flight of avian-informed drones

[@jordanmntungwa3311]

Finally can build and ride those giant eagles from Lord of the Rings

[@zzskylarkzz]

I really hope I get to see this happen in my lifetime!

[@pikachu5188]

Hi! I'm 4 going on 5 moons old. Please, give me just a moment with this video's morffing avian and its history. 🐾 _Montréal 🇨🇦_

[@thatairplaneguy]

This is awesome. As a glider pilot I’ve always been in awe of birds.

[@downwindone]

I designed a 9m2 Kite and analysed the different states of flight equilibrium. You are in the right direction! Congratulations, i hope the best for your future developments!

[@hippopotamus86]

Pretty amazing. Glad I didn't skip on this video.

[@mahsiseua]

0:07 i realize the design still need rudder while real bird dont

[@nassirnassir7286]

To skip rudder they need to add wingtips bend

damn... a whole lot is gonna change in drone warfare and recon!

[@JenFlys]

Wow! I’m amazed the way is able to adjust itself so quickly to maintain it’s stationary (airborne) position.

[@Fogmeister]

Birds get thrust from a propeller?!? Who knew?! 😂 Looks great! When it’s controlling itself in the air it looks almost alive.

[@myperspective5091]

I was just thinking about this a few days ago. The You Tube algorithm really does guess well sometimes.

[@botmsj]

The algorithm was even faster with me because I hadn't had the time to think of it before the video showed up.

[@royenator]

woah, Its really good, this is a major step forward as people have said. As mentioned thats 8 channels, thats difficult to fly, It would make sense that the 4 sweep channels would be controlled by a gyro while the other 4 channels (rudder, left/right aileron, rudder, elevator) be controlled by a human. The additon of sweeps may lower durability of the aircraft during landings and crashes while the

[@ARCEYE78]

A flight controller using gyros and accelerometers take care of all the stabilisation inputs needed just like an Rc multirotor aka drone as most sheeple know them by, this then allows the pilot to simply concentrate on throttle, pitch, roll and yaw

[@kasunldon7607]

thank you for your research, this is amazing for intelligence drones

[@techbricks5300]

This is extremely nice. Good work.

[@1creeperbomb]

This is cool stuff, I always wonder how it would compare to a typical rc drone. Would be sick to an upsize version capable of staying afloat with only gliding.

[@eduardodaquiljr9637]

We have almost the same concept,In reality the outermost of the wing create. remarkable lift that improves efficiency.

[@tuloxe]

1:04 mmmmh yes „stable“😂

[@ericmercer9208]

They cut the video just before it spins out lol

[@martinwhite418]

​@@ericmercer9208 If it cut, how can you know?

[@KiteTurbine]

Wow that's amazing. Would love to see a flock of these used to turn an airborne wind energy system

[@KofiAsare0]

Incredible, what type of actuators were used?

[@dekutree64]

Judging by the noise, just regular RC servos. Not much power needed for these motions.

[@Edward-Wankel]

Довольно эффективно для малой авиации и только для дозвуковых скоростей. Представляю, как будут кувыркаться пассажиры в салоне, когда для преодоления турбулентности пилотам придётся выполнять фигуры высшего пилотажа😂

[@devrim-oguz]

This would actually be great for planes if it can be simplified

[@KlingbergWingMkII]

Excellent work!

[@Zakhar-k7o]

Наконец-то первоиспытатели могут спать спокойно, они не ошиблись - оно действительно летает.

[@sslavi]

Great and well-executed idea.

[@VacuousCat]

Increase efficiency? Or fixing the intrinsic inefficiency?

Thank's for sharing.

[@luiscarapito572]

Awesome for autonomous flight ...more efficiency...

[@shaider1982]

Scale it up for those awesome Atreides Orthinopters

[@robieosborne7369]

Is it compatible with a spektrum NX10?

[@ΟμηροςΚασερης]

[@tomellis4750]

A major step forward.

[@randomIdiot123]

this is a really good idea, but in my opinion, this drone is more complicated and harder to fly than regular drones. So why not just use a simple, easy to fly and build drone?

[@kueacybtguicyregfibubkueacybax]

Realisitically, for any actual flying they would add some control software that makes it similar controls to normal, just probably needs some practice

[@osemenitua7538]

Birds fly slow relative to man made machines, so this would only be applicable for slow flight like surveillance and military drones for getting close up without being detected

[@juanalbertocamachobolanos2667]

So at the end pigeons are government stated drones.

[@depralexcrimson]

looks sick

[@mikemafdom3864]

Awesome ❤

[@mackymacintyre9563]

This is already made, japan had these prototypes a couple yrs back ,

[@henkdevries2971]

Awesome!

[@justusmetzler191]

Problem is that birds control flight without a vertical tail. They utelise a high twist though the wingspan (around 12°) to achieve a vortex shedding at the 2/3 point out from the centenline. This creates proverse yaw when entering cornes. Not as traditional flightsurfaces, that produce adverse yaw thus youd need the vertical tail to counteract. The whole control sceme of your dron is wrong and based on a human aproach not a reality based one.

[@iamscoutstfu]

I admire what theyre doing, but I do wish theyed ditch the vertical stabs. Nature has proven they dont need them and if they ditch them and accomplish stable flight then theyll be really accomplishing something.

[@po1ly414]

@@iamscoutstfuNature doesn’t use props. The propeller produces several turning tendencies that mostly leave a left yawing motion that the drone needs to correct. For this reason, I’d bet that they need some extra control over the vertical axis unless they want to make a contra rotating or a dual motor setup

[@asteriondaedalus6859]

Vertical tails are for the birds is what you're saying right? Such irony.

[@a_bad_channel]

@@po1ly414 they could use a contra rotating propellor, or jusst 2 propellors. However I think this will make it less efficient, or too complicated

[@rampentpanda]

nah man, these people have a great approach to improving ornithopters. by focusing on one aspect of biomimicry they can get a working model up and running and start gathering data and making improvements quickly. A propeller and vertical tail is proven tech with well defined behavior allowing them to develop their novel independent feather control system without having to develop a wing flapping propulsion scheme at the same time. also this drone does seem to be flying in reality, and i cant seem to find yours anywhere

[@kovacsattila8993]

And this video is proof that even commoners can build fake birds not as good as the government ones though

[@dorjedriftwood2731]

Wow incredible

[@wallaguest1]

amazing

[@trevorsoh2130]

Will our airlines feature planes like this in the future?

[@dusk2dawn2]

I doubt it - looks very uncomfortable from a pax viewpoint - but specialized operators like inspection, construction etc

[@mattbrody3565]

Not entirely. Morphing structures get expensive and hard to maintain at large scales, and making big structures like the wings morph gets expensive. We might see tail-morphing planes that can make themselves pitch unstable for more efficient takeoff, maybe the outer wings can use twist morphing, but I wouldn't expect to see a completely bird-like morphing airliner. The upper limit is probably around the size of 1- or 2-seater planes, and the design makes more sense for things like package delivery drones.

[@Eldrich4291]

I thought the government has made these for years?

[@collinmccallum]

amazing!

[@tank-eleven]

looks fun but probably a conventional airplane wing is already way more efficient than this, by a magnitude
