美国的科学家日前宣称,通过模拟翼龙的外形对飞机的垂直尾翼进行重新配置,可将飞行时的转弯半径减小14%。这将大幅提高飞机的灵活性,有助于小型飞机在城市等环境中更轻松地避开障碍物。虽然现在四足动物物种只有鸟类和蝙蝠才能飞行,但第一次实现飞行的脊椎动物还属翼龙。这种会 U.S. scientists have claimed that a 14% reduction in turning radius during flight can be achieved by reconfiguring the aircraft’s vertical tailplane by modeling the shape of a pterodactyl. This will significantly increase the flexibility of the aircraft and help smaller aircraft avoid obstacles more easily in environments such as the city. Although four-legged species now fly only birds and bats, the first vertebrates to fly are also pterosaurs. This will
