　Biomimetics in Aeronautics and Astronautics

Why can birds fly freely in midair?
Why can dolphins swim quickly in water？
Why can individuals move without colliding with each other in a group？

Our study aims to solve above questions and apply clarified biological
merits to artificial subjects using "biomimetic approach". We are now
conducting several researches about swarming of organisms, bird wing,
samaras, etc. Main topics going on are as follows:
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
⇒１) Flight formation of air vehicle based on a swarming behavior in nature
⇒２) Bio-inspired wing based on the primary feather of birds
⇒３) Gullwing based on the wing of sea birds
⇒４) Samara-basd flying vehicle
⇒５) Hydrodynamics in dolphin swimming
⇒６) Flight perfomance of flying fish
