Biomimetics for Aviation and Marine Applications provides coverage of key background topics and other essential, physics-specific concepts. Readers can expect to find a wide range of field test studies and numerical simulations of applied fluid dynamics. Two areas of practical implementation are specifically emphasized in the ensuing sections through detailed descriptions of leading research developments and reviews of state-of-the-art design examples of novel or bio-improved vehicles for aviation and marine purposes. Finally, future prospects and critical challenges in the execution and utilization of those biological features for practical engineering advances are discussed.Provides introductory and background details of what nature can offer for engineering applicationsReviews the physics behind different animal features that can be mimicked for drag force reductionFocuses on scaling to investigate the dimensional link between different sizes and species in flight phenomenaSpotlights practical implementation examples of biomimicry engineering in aviation and marine environments
