The surgery involves injecting gas into the anterior chamber of the eye, to create a bubble that pushes onto the donor cornea (graft), achieving sutureless adherence to the host cornea. During the postoperative period,...

In this work, we present the preliminary design of a biologically inspired flapping UAV. Starting from a set of initial design specifications, namely: weight, maximum flapping frequency and the minimum hand-launch velocity of the model; we conduct a wide numerical study of the proposed avian model in terms of the aerodynamic performance and...
