Flight control mechanisms in birds of prey
Here we present the first measurements of 3D acceleration and turn rate obtained from a bird in wide-ranging free flight. These data on body kinematics are accompanied by simultaneous onboard video sequences of the head and tail kinematics, and by video of the bird taken from the ground. The bird, a...
