Passive aerodynamic robustness reduces disturbance amplification in flight
Lunbing Chen, Suyang Qin, Qilin Wu +5
Flight in turbulence is constrained not only by aerodynamic efficiency, but also by how strongly flow disturbances are transmitted into unsteady loads and dynamic responses. Althou…

Learning step-level dynamic soaring in shear flow
Lunbing Chen, Jixin Lu, Yufei Yin +3
Dynamic soaring enables sustained flight by extracting energy from wind shear, yet it is commonly understood as a cycle-level maneuver that assumes stable flow conditions. In reali…

Geese achieve stationary takeoff via synergistic wing kinematics and enhanced aerodynamics
Jinpeng Huang, Yang Xiang, Lunbing Chen +5
Stationary take-off, without a running start or elevated descent, requires substantial aerodynamic forces to overcome weight, particularly for large birds such as geese exceeding 2…
