Associate Dr. Nick Moore featured in Forbes Magazine for his work on flexible wing design

See the paper here: http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/pof2/27/9/10.1063/1.4930235

A new mathematical model shows that the most efficient moving wings have a spring joint along the leading edge; better drones and underwater robots may follow.
