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.
