Wing tucks are a response to atmospheric turbulence in the soaring flight of the steppe eagle Aquila nipalensis

Turbulent atmospheric conditions represent a challenge to stable flight in soaring birds, which are often seen to drop their wings in a transient motion that we call a tuck. Here, we investigate the mechanics, occurrence and causation of wing tucking in a captive steppe eagle Aquila nipalensis, usin...
