On the Estimation of Time Dependent Lift of a European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) during Flapping Flight.

We study the role of unsteady lift in the context of flapping wing bird flight. Both aerodynamicists and biologists have attempted to address this subject, yet it seems that the contribution of unsteady lift still holds many open questions. The current study deals with the estimation of unsteady aer...
