Takeoff Mechanics

Takeoff Mechanics is a biomechanical framework that characterizes the physical processes and aerodynamic principles underlying the initiation of avian flight, distinguishing it from other flight phases by focusing specifically on the transition from rest or ground movement to sustained aerial locomotion.
