An air-filled sac within the birds' lungs is believed to increase the force the birds use to power flight muscles while soaring. Soaring birds -- like osprey, eagles, falcons, even vultures -- can ...

A large-eddy simulation reveals destabilized flight for birds soaring over wind farms. Wind turbines may seem innocuous enough, but they have the potential to reshape the air birds fly through. In a ...

Wind turbines may seem innocuous enough, but they have the potential to reshape the air birds fly through. In a recent Scientific Reports paper, researchers found that a gliding bird’s lift-to-drag ...
