Flapping Like a Bird

Flapping-Wing Flight Enthusiasts based at the University of TorontoInstitute for Aerospace Studies are using a specialized flexible-wing structure toachieve humanity '.v oldest aeronautical dream - to [really] flylike a bird. Led by aeronautics professor James DeLaurier, the underfunded, student-driven team has been working since 1995 to get its

ornithopter off the ground. After rebuilding some structures damaged in a previous attempt last year, team members hope to make another try this year - or the next.

Key to their flying machine is a "shearflexing" wing, an innovative concept that was conceived by DeLaurier's long-term collaborator in ornithopter research, Jeremy M. Harris, whom he met in 1973 when they both worked at Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio. By 1976, Harris writes, the pair had begun ''to consider the interrelated problems of airfoil section shape and pitching freedom" the ability of airfoil to change its angle of attack into the airflow.

Subsequent testing showed that the concept was valid - the angle of attack of the airfoil varies as desired as the wing swings up and down because shearflexing allows the structure to twist around the rigid wing spar to maintain lift.
