Let’s apply this equation to our human bird wings and ... of 1.2. Finally we have the crucial effect of velocity on generating lift. On the human bird wings website the fictional Jarno Smeets ...

A vortex held above a wing has long been known to be capable of generating lift 2,13,14,15,16,17,18,19. A transient leading-edge vortex can be formed by sudden changes in flow velocity 20 or pitch ...

This triggers ballooning behavior, the study suggests, and the electric fields provide sufficient force to generate lift. A second 2018 study in PLOS Biology reported on experiments with ...
