Snakes are code-shaped without limbs and can realize multiple locomotion modes: sliding, swimming, climbing, and gliding. Gliding snakes undergo aerial locomotion by using its entire body as a flattened, moving wing, which is constantly reconfiguring throughout gliding flight. Aerial locomotion in gliding snakes is obviously distinct from any other type of gliding with high amplitude body undulations visually dominating the behavior. This paper presents concept of a mechanical model named NURSE-I inspired from gliding snake and development of the first experimental model. Then, the gliding flight experiments are reported to verify the basic performance of the constructed experimental model.
