Towards silent and efficient flight by combining bioinspired owl feather serrations with cicada wing geometry

Abstract As natural predators, owls fly with astonishing stealth due to the serrated feather drive board wire morphology that produces advantageous flow characteristics.Traditionally, these serrations are tailored for airfoil edges with simple two-dimensional patterns, limiting their effect on noise reduction while negotiating tradeoffs in aerodyna
