Previous studies show that as a wing rises from the water, the lift generated by it will increase until it suddenly reverses direction before stabilizing. Why this occurs is not yet known, but the answer is crucial to understanding UAV performance.</news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//p>/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/n<p>/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/u201cIn general, when a UAV egresses, it causes lift overshoot followed by a sharp drop,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/u201d Bhattacharya says. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/u201cSuch rapid changes in lift forces can create instability, leading to loss of control. Understanding this transition will not only improve our knowledge of creatures in nature but also allow for drone designs that can use or mitigate the lift increase and decrease that occurs./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/u201d</news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//p>/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/n<figure id=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"attachment_153678/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" style=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"max-width: 640px;/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" class=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"figure mx-auto d-block/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"><noscript><img decoding=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"async/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" width=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"640/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" height=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"427/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" class=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"figure-img img-fluid w-100 wp-image-153678 size-full/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" src=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"https:/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455///news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//www.ucf.edu/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//wp-content/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//blogs.dir/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//20/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//files/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//2026/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//06/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//wing-samik.gif/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" alt=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"Animated GIF showing a 3D-printed wing attached to a mechanical device rising from a water tank illuminated by a green laser light./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"></news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//noscript><img decoding=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"async/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" width=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"640/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" height=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"427/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" class=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"figure-img img-fluid w-100 wp-image-153678 size-full lazyload/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" src=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"data:image/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20640%20427%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" alt=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"Animated GIF showing a 3D-printed wing attached to a mechanical device rising from a water tank illuminated by a green laser light./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/" data-src=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"https:/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455///news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//www.ucf.edu/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//wp-content/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//blogs.dir/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//20/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//files/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//2026/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//06/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//wing-samik.gif/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"><figcaption class=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"figure-caption/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/">UCF researchers are using a water tank and 3D-printed wings to study how surface deformation, waves and vortex shedding influence egress /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/u2014 the transition of a wing from water to air.</news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//figcaption></news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//figure>/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/n<p>Inside the <a href=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"https:/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455///news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//mae.ucf.edu/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//Efml/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455///news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/">Experimental Fluid Mechanics Lab</news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//a> in <a href=/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/"https:/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455///news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//mae.ucf.edu/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455///news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/">UCF/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455/u2019s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering</news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153455//a>, Bhattacharya and Polidoro use a water tank and 3D-printed wings to study how surface deformation, waves and vortex shedding interact during egress.
