Little Wing

Aspect Ratio and Angular Momentum: Aspect ratios are usually considered between the length of the wings of the bird and the wing’s width. This factor determines how well the bird can perform during flight. This aspect ratio could affect many things: High Aspect Ratio: Balance: Long narrow wings for example will add to the stability and balance of a bird. The best example of this would be a tightrope walker, the long pole that person holds adds…

flexible. *Neck compensates for the conversion of forelimbs into wings. *The neck is very mobile and helps in handling food and is also responsible for for the universal movement of the…

B. SIDELL ABSTRACT -- Puffins, one of the few wing-propelled diving birds, are specialized into a specific niche. By balancing the optimization of their bodies for locomotion between the two media of air and sea water created a unique anatomy for a bird. The evolution of Auks, which includes the puffin, shows a mixture of characteristics similar to those of the ultimate diving bird, the penguin, and the large-winged flyers, such as the pelican. Wing-propelled diving has evolved numerous times in…

Their repertoire of sounds range from uttering a liquid, rambling medley of soft caws, coos, clicks and rattles and rusty gate sounds. They may not be classified as songbirds, but they are every bit as interesting. Sleek black in color with inquisitive eyes, a loping gait and an intelligence level that far outreaches that of their lighter colored winged bretheren, the crow is a bird well worthy of our respect and admiration. Nearly every bird watching guide describes the American Crow as one of…

ways to wake up. This isn’t the only time That Guest uses words in a negative way. “the unmistakable shuffling shoulders-bent walk. mostly old men but some younger ones, too, in the dull, dusty-maron bathrobes, side flapping loosely, like the drooped wings of dying birds”…

A scale model parachute will be designed and constructed to fall safely for the attached LEGO man to survive the parachute will provide enough air resistance to counteract gravity. One reason there is science in this problem is if the parachute goes to fast and kills the LEGO man to make the parachute go slower the parachute would have to be improved. Also, if parachute would be improved based on things such as how to make the air resistance greater making the parachute slower. Another, things…

Analysis/Discussion: This graph above shows that different heights does affect the speed of a shuttlecock. On the x axis, the data is the height of where the shuttlecock is dropped from, while the y axis is the average speed (m/s). The height where the shuttlecock is dropped increases, as the average speed of each height increases as well. The result of the graph is shown that the line keeps on increasing even if it is not a straight line graph. These results support my hypothesis, which states…

Once in a land far far away lived a fairy named Freya. Freya was a special fairy not because she had powers but because she only had one wing. Being born with only one wing unheard of in the land of Blossom City. Living with one wing did not affect Freya as a child because she did not know anything different.
