Engineers find secret to steady drone cameras in swan necks

Whooper swans stabilize their head with a complex neck that's tuned like a car suspension, Stanford engineers have learned. The finding has influenced their design of a camera suspension system that could allow drones to record steadier video.

Swans and geese are the envy of aeronautical engineers. Even plump geese can perform remarkable aerial acrobatics – twisting their body and flapping their powerful wings while keeping their head completely still.   <<READ MORE>>
