Flying at No Mechanical Energy Cost: Disclosing the Secret of Wandering Albatrosses
Albatrosses do something that no other birds are able to do: fly thousands of kilometres at no mechanical cost. This is possible because they use dynamic soaring, a flight mode that enables them to gain the energy required for flying from wind. Until now, the physical mechanisms of the energy gain i...
