Researchers have created an algorithm that can find the fastest path for a drone to fly. It even beat human pilots flying drones in a race.
"3D morphing" wings could help drones and other small aircraft safely navigate urban streets and keep stable in wind gusts.
Every fall and spring, thousands of migrating birds are killed when they crash into illuminated windows. Turning off some lights can make a big difference.
The inner ear may clue paleontologist in on two particular phenomena: how dinosaurs interacted with each other and how they began to fly.
A complex network of wing, muscle, and nervous system genes give fruit flies what it takes to become champion fliers.
Two small dinosaurs with bat-like wings, Yi and Ambopteryx, couldn't take the air as well as birds.
A new evolutionary tree suggests powered flight may have evolved in feathered dinosaurs and early birds at least three different times.
Even though eastern and western monarch butterflies have different styles of migration, they're genetically the same, researchers report.
A new drone can pull off acrobatic maneuvers like barrel rolls or loops. More than just looking cool, it could be a step to autonomous flying robots.
