Engineers have developed an unmanned vehicle inspired by the way in which bats fly by changing the shape of their wings. The team behind the wings believes the design is revolutionary and could pave ...

Researchers have created what is claimed to be the most advanced model of bat wing flight ever, potentially leading to new developments in aviation. Bat wings bend, twist and deform in response to ...

Networks of collagen fibers in a bat’s wings could be as reliable and unique as a human fingerprint, offering scientists a non-invasive way of identifying and tracking bats. U.S. Forest Service Bat ...

Bat wing-like membranes that change their shape in response to the prevailing wind conditions have been tested in-flight, taking them a step closer to use in Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). The membranes ...

Tiny muscles let bats control wing shape and stiffness as they fly, a new study claims. They appear to fine tune their flight a little like Batman in the Dark Knight, whose wings almost ‘solidify’ ...
