Robotic pigeon reveals bird flight secrets 🪶 A pigeon-inspired robot has solved the mystery of how birds fly without the vertical tail fins that human-designed aircraft rely on. It includes 52 real pigeon feathers and has reflexive tail movements programmed into it, designed to mimic those known to exist in birds. Its makers say the prototype could eventually lead to passenger aircraft with less drag, reducing fuel consumption. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2456661-robotic-pigeon-reveals

This robot can fly just like a real bird: It’s called PigeonBot II, and it’s designed to replicate the natural flight mechanics of real birds, achieving rudderless flight through biomimetic morphing of its wings and tail. Its design incorporates 52 real pigeon feathers, providing lightweight, elastic stiffness and natural aerodynamic properties, allowing for smooth, continuous morphing. Weighing approximately 300 grams, comparable to a real pigeon, the robot is equipped with small propellers for
