Energy considerations and flow fields over whiffling-inspired wings Open
Some bird species fly inverted, or whiffle, to lose altitude. Inverted flight twists the primary flight feathers, creating gaps along the wing’s trailing edge and decreasing lift. It is speculated that feather rotation-inspired gaps could …
