Virtual manipulation of tail postures of a gliding barn owl (Tyto alba) demonstrates drag minimization when gliding
Aerodynamic functions of the avian tail have been studied previously using observations of bird flight, physical models in wind tunnels, theoretical modelling and flow visualization. However, none of these approaches has provided rigorous, quantitative evidence concerning tail functions because (i)...
