Optimized kinematics enable both aerial and aquatic propulsion from a single three-dimensional flapping wing
Flapping wings in nature demonstrate a large force envelope, with capabilities far beyond the traditional limits of static airfoil section coefficients. Puffins, murres, and other auks particularly showcase this effect, as they are able to generate both enough thrust to swim and enough lift to fly,...
