+### [avinertia](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/AvInertia/index.html): Calculate the inertial properties of a flying bird
+
+*avinertia* provides tools to compute the center of gravity and moment of inertia tensor of any flying bird. The tools function by modeling a bird as a composite structure of simple geometric objects. This requires detailed morphological measurements of bird specimens although those obtained for the associated paper have been included in the package for use. Written with [Christina A. Harvey](https://www.christinaharvey.ca/) and [Jasmin C.M. Wong](https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/persons/jasmin-wong)
