- This novel method enables the high-resolution measurement of the geometry of birds in natural free-flight conditions for the first time. It has allowed a range of new quantitative studies in the field of bird flight mechanics, including a new collaboration with the Royal Veterinary College (Dr Bomphrey) to use the method to study bird gust responses which resulted in a patent for a bio-inspired mechanism for aircraft gust rejection (UK#1903806.6). The work also contributed to the award of its first author's PhD and formed the foundation of a €2M ERC Staring Grant (No. 679355).
