Why birds flap their wings while landing: New study reveals the science
Research shows that birds flap their wings while landing to enhance control and deceleration. The energy expended during flapping has tangible benefits for a safe landing. Mathematical modeling indicates that a zero-speed landing without flapping is impractical for most birds. Birds of prey may also swoop to manage…
