How Crickets Use Aerodynamics To Escape Being Eaten By Spiders

from Premier Aerodynamics Podcast · host Premier Aerodynamics

Spiders give off aerodynamic signatures when they charge and attack prey. In this podcast, we'll explore how the air moves around a spider when it does so, and whether its prey, like crickets, use that to escape being caught.Interested in plane aerodynamics?
