Between Dragonflies and Albatross

Not in vain God created animals with wings like dragonflies and birds. Both have incredible wings and be able to maneuver freely in the air. Factors that is applied to the design of aircraft wings. Wright brothers, inventors have studied aircraft  birds wings as the main inspiration. The wings of birds have a light frame, strong chest muscles, bones and wings, combined with a perfect aerodynamic principles. While dragonflies can float in a fixed position in the air or in the desired medarat is as important as the ability to fly itself. That is why he designed the aircraft with high maneuverability the helicopter.

A number of the world's leading aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus are also used for the evaluation of industrial biomimicry. They apply the flight of birds to design and develop a model of the wings more positive towards the wind. That way, it can make in the future of air travel more efficient, clean and fast. The principle of my impersonation of bird aircraft is now being developed further. Birds are being targeted for investigation wings are kind of Albatross, albatross kind that can fly thousands of miles without flapping its wings. With a wingspan of three meters long, the largest sea bird is able to fly up to speeds of 115 kilometers per hour. Sea Eagles did look stiff on the ground, but in space he is really graceful and stunning. Of the approximately 20 species of albatross are known, approximately 15 species can be found in the seas around New Zealand. This graceful eagle under analysis the researchers how she raised her significantly. The scientists want to design advanced aircraft capable of flying efficiently.

Johannes Traougott Germany aerospace engineer, and his colleagues were trying to map the pattern style flying Albatross. This bird, first flying low on the surface, but suddenly he was heading into the wind in order to achieve a higher position. After reaching a height of 15 meters, Albatross rotates leeward. Then glide easily and then start flying high again. All this is supported by anatomical Albatross that allow it to fly far and high energy efficiency.

Albatross have special muscles in their shoulders so they can lock their wings in one position. The quality is the same anatomy with the wings on the plane. According to Traugott of the Technical University of Munich, there is a great application for aircraft that must remain in the air as long as possible. For extended flights from where the main objective is to stay in the air. Janine Benyus, Biomimicry Institute reveals the president of the Albatross ability feel small changes of air pressure and wind direction. "To be able to feel it, we need a highly sensitive sensor on the plane of our future," says Benyus.

Application of the process of evolution into the science or technique called Biomimetics biomimicry. Biomimicry is the science that places particular natural objects as living things and the process of designing a model, imitate, and applied in modern technology.
