A team of researchers from Princeton University is exploring how feather-like flaps on aircraft wings could improve stability ...

Well, I can’t say that I’ve ever seen that before… And as someone who had a chicken wing obsession, I gotta say that this really grossed me out! A man named Benjamin shared a video on TikTok ...

These small feathers on top of birds’ wings lay flat during normal flight but flare up in turbulence during landing. By attaching flexible plastic strips – “covert flaps” – to the top of ...
