Abstract(s)
Currently existing air vehicles, although efficient in the cruise conditions, lose much of their performance in maneuvers and phases of the flight such as takeoff, landing, turn or climbing. On the other hand, the flight performed by some animals in Nature demonstrates an ideal adaptation and high efficiency for each flight phase. The production of lift and thrust is performed by the same structures, the wings. On the contrary, in nowadays vehicles, there is a separation of the lift force, produced by the wings, and thrust, produced by engines.
