← Nature & AnimalsWhich aerodynamic outcome occurs when a soaring bird collapses diaphragmatic air sacs?
A)Tail feather induced stall recovery
B)Centroid alters facilitating faster turns✓
C)Wing dihedral instability self-correction
D)Alula feathers generate increased lift
💡 Explanation
Adjusting air sac volume alters a bird's center of mass; the mechanism is inertial mass redistribution. Because manipulating internal mass changes centroid location; therefore, a bird gains fast turning agility, rather than direct improvements to feather lift characteristics.
