Scanner scandal: are zoos using animal equipment on obese humans? [Published Guardian.co.uk - May 17 2013]

When asked about the wider significance of the study, Dr. Pittman replied, "From the wings of Icarus to our busy modern skies, humans have long been fascinated by the flight ability of birds. In fact, the term 'aviation' stems from 'avis', the latin word for bird. Tails are often neglected in studies of bird flight so our study is an important new step towards broader reconstructions of avian tail evolution that incorporate all of the forces acting on the tail, including aerodynamic ones. Understanding how birds evolved flight is of direct relevance to modern aviation so it is exciting to know that in addition to its evolutionary significance, this study could perhaps inspire future generations of aircraft. I am also looking forward to applying our methods to study how dinosaur weapon-tails evolved as this is a classic question that has intrigued palaeontologists for more than a century."
