Research Abstract & Technology Focus

Innovations in engineering, especially in the area of aerodynamics, have historically been inspired by nature. Birds have evolved incredibly effective wing structures that maximize lift, minimize drag, and enable adaptation to various flight circumstances. In this study, we combine several important aerodynamic traits from two amazing bird species to create a bioinspired wing: the Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird in the world, which is renowned for its agility and capacity for high-speed maneuvers, and the Albatross, which is praised for its unmatched gliding efficiency. The 3D model of the wing was developed in Solidworks, meticulously integrating the high aspect ratio and tapered tips seen in the Albatross, alongside the swept-back design of the Peregrine Falcon. This model was then analyzed in ANSYS Fluent at a Reynolds number of 6 × 105 and an inlet velocity of 29.78 m/s, using the NACA 23015 wing as a reference. The results show that the Albatross & Falcon (A&F) wing peaked at an angle of 5°, while the NACA 23015 reached its maximum lift-to-drag ratio at 15°, showing a 33% gain in aerodynamic efficiency and a delayed stall beyond 15°. The pressure contours showed less flow separation and more efficient airflow. These findings imply that adding biomimetic components could greatly increase lift output and stability, creating chances for the creation of more nimble and fuel-efficient aircraft and UAV designs.
