🪶 Bird Evolution: From Feathered Dinosaurs to Flight - Wing Aerodynamics Lab
Slide through 160 million years from Anchiornis and Archaeopteryx to the pigeon and the golden eagle and test whether each animal could launch by ground-up running, wing-assisted incline running or dropping from a tree, using lift, stall speed, wing loading, glide ratio and power curves. Compare skeletons (keel, wishbone, pygostyle, wing claws) in 3D.
