Researchers from RMIT University in Australia are studying birds to improve drones' tolerance to windy conditionsPrevious studies have focused on how birds' wing flapping adjusts for aerodynamic control, which has influenced aircraft designThe researchers conducted an experiment with motion capture sensors on Nankeen Kestrels to study their hovering skills in windy conditionsThe findings could be applied to the design of morphing wings in drones, making them more stable and safe in adverse weather
