  1. Flight

  2. Aerodynamics • Lift • Weight • Thrust • Drag

  3. Airfoil

  4. Lift Differential Dynamic Pressure (versus static air pressure)

  5. Lift • Curvature • Angle of Deflection • Area

  6. Lift • Curvature • Angle of Deflection • Area

  7. Lift • Curvature • Angle of Deflection • Area

  8. Drag • Profile Drag • Induced Drag

  9. Induced Drag • Turbulence • Alula • Stall • Slotted Primaries • Tip Turbulence • Speed varied (both)

  10. Induced Drag • Turbulence • Alula • Stall • Slotted Primaries • Tip Turbulence • Speed varied (both)

  11. Induced Drag • Turbulence • Alula • Stall • Slotted Primaries • Tip Turbulence • Speed varied (both)

  12. Induced Drag • Turbulence • Alula • Stall (2 ways) • Slotted Primaries • Tip Turbulence • Speed varied (both)

  13. Induced Drag • Turbulence • Alula • Stall • Slotted Primaries • Tip Turbulence • Speed varied (both)

  14. Thrust Twisted Airfoil Propeller-esque

  15. Thrust • Twisted primaries in large birds • Whole wing in small birds • Momentum in large birds

  16. Wing Shapes • A bird that soars slowly on rising air • A bird that glides in high speed sea-breezes • A bird that uses flight to power from the ground to a safe perch • A bird that flies for extended periods at high speeds • A bird that flies through dense brush at moderate speeds • A bird that puts on bursts of speed to catch other birds through dense brush

  17. Wing Shape Choices • Long / Short • Pointed / Rounded • Slotted / Unslotted • Soaring slowly • Glides quickly • Fast short flight • Fast long flight • Moderate speed through brush • Fast short speed through brush

  18. Soaring • Static Soaring • Dynamic Soaring • High Speed Soaring

  19. Soaring • Static Soaring • Thermals • Deflected winds • Dynamic Soaring • High Speed Soaring

  20. Soaring • Static Soaring • Dynamic Soaring • Wind speed gradient • Momentum • High Speed Soaring

  21. Soaring • Static Soaring • Dynamic Soaring • High Speed Soaring • High speed for lift • Low drag

  22. Tail Shape • Long • Steering • High Drag • Forked – even better • Short & Fanned • High lift • Third wing

  23. Breaking • Timed Stalling • Feet • Vultures

  24. Take-off • From ground • Running along ground • Running along water • Cliff / tree launch

  25. Adapted Morphology • Skeletal • Musculature
