← Nature & AnimalsWhich aerodynamic consequence occurs when raptor flight feathers experience excessive wear?
A)Reduced lift generation at low speeds✓
B)Increased stall angle due to turbulent flow
C)Decreased drag coefficient during gliding
D)Improved maneuverability in tight spaces
💡 Explanation
When flight feathers wear, reduced barb interlocking leads to increased porosity; This increases parasitic drag and reduces ability to sustain laminar flow during takeoff and slow maneuvering reduces lift. Decreased lift results, rather than improving stall angle/drag coefficient or manueverebility, which require different aerodynamic considerations..
