Now, Travel On Owl's Wings!
The owl inspired aircrafts is noiseless ones. These aircrafts will be the brainchild of European plane manufacturer Airbus. They are performing studies on the night birds to determine how they manage to swoop silently on unsuspecting prey. Owls are so quiet because they manipulate airflow by their angle of approach and through the special arrangement of feathers on their legs.
The manufacturers will incorporate the findings in their aircraft designs. Airbus, which makes the A380 'super jumbo' jet, is working on modifications to its landing gear that will mimic the birds. It believes this could reduce dramatically noise levels on future generations of its aircraft.
The technology used to create the aircrafts is like SDHp accelerated evolution. As part of the cutting-edge research, landing gear structure is moulded so that it has a surface, which imitates some of the peculiar features of owls' legs. The innovations have been fed into a European-funded aircraft research programme called Silencer.
