In this paper, we reported the aerodynamic results of a wind tunnel experiment on taxidermy black-tailed gulls, a 3D printed model and a 2D aluminum plate based on scan data of taxidermy specimen. Due to manufacturing method issues, we improved the taxidermy specimen by creating a 3D-printed body based on the X-ray CT data of the black-tailed gull. In these experiments, we also measured deformation using stereo viewing and experimented with varying the yaw angle.
