Biomimicry in Aviation Comes Full Circle in Ohio.
At the turn of the last century, two brothers looked at how birds shaped and warped their wings to gain and maintain lift and used these detailed
observations to inform their flying machine
invention. In their bike shop in Dayton Ohio, Wilbur
and Orville Wright, with bold determination and
visionary zeal, took what they learned from the
nature of bird flight, to a desolate beach in North
Carolina, and ushered in the age of human aviation.
We think it is fitting that nature inspired
aerospace innovation has come full circle in Ohio.
Now that Great Lakes Biomimicry is part of the Ohio
Aerospace Institute we will, with bold
determination, bring the solutions from nature to
those seeking a new way to think about innovation in
aerospace and beyond.
“No bird soars in a calm”
~ Wilbur Wright
