Flight mechanics and stability in birds during extreme manoeuvres of take-off and landing

The University of Manchester Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering

During take-off birds accelerate primarily through from the ground reaction force, with aerodynamics playing a lesser role. In landing things are quite different; birds use mainly aerodynamic drag on the wings to decelerate, with the legs bringing them finally to rest after touchdown. Read more
