Bird flight
===========

Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Roger,
Some references that may help,
1) the 1988 NFFS Sympo has the article "Slotted Wingtips on Soaring Birds
and Models", by Hans Gremmer
and
2) Aeromodeller Annual 1978-79 has the article "Bird Aerodynamics" by Prof
E.F.Blick (university of Okalahoma, USA) ( from Shell Aviation News),
I could supply a photocopy by snailmail if required.

Avian Aerodynamics References
=============================

Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

At least 20 years ago I read some on avian aerodynamics including the
Scientific American article mentioned by Martin Dilly something by the Dr.
Raspet mentioned by John OD.

I also recall reading about a training a hawk to fly in a wind tunnel.
This study showed that the hawk changed its flight speed mostly by reducing
wing span (the F-111 approach) rather than changing camber .

A bit of searching on the Web with Alta Vista gives a few URL's to see:

Avian Wind Tunnel:
http://orn-lab.ekol.lu.se/birdmigration/windtunnel/lundwind.html
http://orn-lab.ekol.lu.se/birdmigration/birdflight/

Bird Flight Anatomy:
http://numbat.murdoch.edu.au/Anatomy/avian/avian2.html#RTFToC7

Searching a few databases via the Univ of Wisc and Madison Public library
gives quite a number of references. Here are a few likely ones; email me
if you want them all. "Nature" is a first rate scientific journal that
will be at any university or college.

ISSN:

Subject Terms:
Birds
Theory
Aerodynamics
Abstract:
Respirometric measurements of the power needed for birds to fly at various
speeds have been at odds with
aerodynamic theory, but direct experiments confirm theory. Much more power
is needed to fly slowly than to fly at
intermediate speeds.

>From another gereral journal database:

1 On the tails of birds: what are the aerodynamic functions
of birds' tails, with their incredible diversity of form?
Adrian L.R. Thomas. BioScience, April 1997 v47 n4 p215(11).
Elec. Coll.: .A19485586.
Abstract: Birds' tails allow them to increase the total lift that the
wings can generate, thus enabling birds to fly efficiently at low speeds as
well as perform quick maneuvers. Their tails, which are often elaborate and
elongated, provide them with stability and control.

2 A bird is not a plane. (avian flight)(Cover Story) Doug
Stewart. National Wildlife, Feb-March 1996 v34 n2 p32(10).
Elec. Coll.: .A18082662.
Abstract: Birds' ability to fly contradicts many long-held theories on
aerodynamics. Their ability to fly is a result of lightweight bones, strong
muscles and uniquely designed feathers. The study of birds' flying abilities
may have an impact on the design of planes in the future.




America's Cup
=============

Jim Parker sent this as he was departing for Israel ..[good
luck Jim]. It does not include the complete Nationals results
as they have not been sent to us yet. Can someone please ask
the CD to do that, .. other wise we cannot include them.

This time we are also including Jim's
Excel file as an attachement,.. so the curious can see how
Jim does it and the staistican can further analyse.

Roger, here's the EXCEL 4.0 file. I could only figure out the F1A and the
Jr F1A and F1J results from the info on E-Scatter.
