Abstract

Albatrosses are the soaring champion among the birds, they can travel 1000 km per day without eating or rest, scientist summarizes this flying style as dynamic soaring. This paper is focusing on the mechanisms of dynamic soaring, by derivation energy harvesting equation, link the basic variables which could infect gliding performance. Through analysis two different energy-extraction equation in two different reference system, this paper finds the key to dynamic soaring and provide a new concept of bionic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) design.
