How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Flapping Wing Mechanisms?
Nanotechnology enhances flapping wing mechanisms by providing materials and techniques that allow for lightweight, flexible, and highly efficient designs. Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene are used to construct the wings, making them strong yet lightweight. Additionally, nanoscale sensors and actuators can be integrated into the wings to provide real-time control and feedback, mimicking the natural flight adjustments seen in insects.
