These snakes use large amplitude threedimensional body undulations in a controlled and stable glide to the ground. We use recently acquired glide data (provided in a complimentary presentation) and a variable-geometry rigid-body model to address the passive stability properties of this system. By varying the spatial and temporal characteristics of the undulation in simulated glides, we find that flying snakes are likely unstable in pitch and moderately unstable in roll. 000014415 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000014415 653__ $$a 000014415 7112_ $$a24th International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics$$cMontreal (CA)$$d2016-08-21 / 2016-08-26$$gICTAM2016 000014415 720__ $$aYeaton, Isaac 000014415 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000014415 8564_ $$s183229$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/14415/files/TS.FM01-3.04.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, page 438, code TS.FM01-3.04 . 000014415 962__ $$r13812 000014415 980__ $$aPAPER
