What Biological Morphologies or Techniques Might Apply To Long Endurance Macro UAVs?

• Tip feathers (induced drag reduction)

• Alula (high lift system)

• Micro vortex generators (separation control)

• Popup “feathers” (separation control)

• Retractable tail (active stability & control)

• Use of atmospheric dynamics

• Advanced low Reynolds number airfoils
