Curving to fly: Synthetic adaptation unveils optimal flight performance of whirling fruits
Jean Rabault, Richard A. Fauli, Andreas Carlson
Appendages of seeds, fruits and other diaspores (dispersal units) are essential for their wind dispersal, as they act as wings and enable them to fly. Whirling fruits generate an a…

Wing fold angle determines the terminal descent velocity of double winged autorotating seeds, fruits and other diaspores
Richard A. Fauli, Jean Rabault, Andreas Carlson
Wind dispersal of seeds is one essential mechanisms for plants to proliferate and to invade new territories. In this paper we present a methodology that combines 3D-printing, a min…
