The concept for this unique motorcycle design was derived from studying birds of prey, which are known for their swiftness, accuracy, glide and aerodynamic beauty. This design approach of using natural forms as models for human-based needs is called Biomimicry. It involves synthesizing knowledge from biology, engineering and design to create products or product systems. There have been many innovative products designed for medical, recreational, military, and transportational needs. The motorcycle was designed by Tim Bennett for Prof. Haig Khachatoorian's ID 202 - Sophomore Industrial Design Studio in Spring Semester 2006.
