Breuer lab postdoc Alexander Gehrke is first author of a paper on the aerodynamic potential of more flexible wings using a membrane made from a silicone-based polymer. https://t.co/xSc6lvdfQj
Exciting to see EPFL News featuring my work on how flexible, bat-like wings generate lift more efficiently! 🦇 By bending just right, they boost performance—insights that could shape future drones & energy tech. 🚀 Check it out: https://t.co/7Kw8ZxJBQu

🚨 New paper alert 🚨
Our new work on membrane wings is now published in
@pnas.org
🎉
Flexible membrane wings can outperform stiff wings and, surprisingly, they perform best when the formation of a leading edge vortex is suppressed 🌀

Can you find where @alexandros_ana is hiding in the collage? 😇
Many thanks for the award for "Spot", and also to my very patient model Alex! https://t.co/2CDmZTDFr1
Many thanks to @snsf_ch and the organisers of the #SwissScienceImage competition! It is also a special feeling to see my first 📸 in an exhibition.
Here is "Spot", starring @alexandros_ana.
