I am an aerospace engineer specialized in aerodynamics. For my PhD studies here in Lund, I am studying the aerodynamics of animal flight, and in particular bat flight, although I also work with birds. To do this, I use the Lund wind tunnel, which is specially designed for animal flight studies.
Looking at our bats flying in the wind tunnel, it is incredible to see how maneuverable and what elegant flyers they are, especially with respect to those big metal things which we call airplanes. We still have a lot to learn from nature when it comes to flight and that is exactly what I am trying to do…
