A Toy Model of Flying Snake's Glide
arXiv:nlin/0305035 · doi:10.1143/JPSJ.72.3002
Abstract
We have developed a toy model of flying snake's glide [J.J. Socha, Nature vol. 418 (2002) 603.] by modifying a model for a falling paper. We have found that asymmetric oscillation is a key about why snake can glide. Further investigation for snake's glide will provide us details about how it can glide without a wing.
