- W3201225332 abstract "Colin Pennycuick was almost single-handedly responsible for the successful, and continuing, merger of the engineering and mathematical sciences of aerodynamics and flight mechanics with ornithology, ecology and bird flight behaviour. He developed a mathematical/ aerodynamical/ecological model of bird flight that could explain and predict bird body and wing shapes and sizes, and hence flight behaviour over a broad range of length- and time-scales, for real birds. He sought to bring rigorous quantitative methods to the people, and insisted that no matter how complex and sophisticated a theoretical model may be, unless it showed some improvement and advance in its practical utility, then it was of questionable value. He similarly insisted that model predictions be testable, and that results be openly and quantifiably given. His approach was marked by two distinct characteristics: first he pioneered the use of small aircraft and powered and unpowered gliders to follow soaring and migrating birds in their natural environment, exploiting his top-level pilot skills; second, he invented, designed and built novel instrumentation for making hitherto unheard-of laboratory and field measurements. The most well-known were his tilting wind tunnels, in which birds and bats could be trained to perform steady gliding flight. His intellectually and geographically-broad range of interests and contacts led to his being a giant influence in theoretical and practical bird flight mechanics and behaviour, one that is likely to stay with us for many decades." @default.
