Which biomechanical consequence occurs when raptors use thermal soaring with reduced wing twist near wingtips?

💡 Explanation

When raptors reduce wing twist during thermal soaring, vortex shedding is increased because of decreased spanwise flow control leading to greater induced drag. Therefore increased drag penalty arises, rather than turbulence resistance, thermal gradient use or brake minimization which arise from other flight adjustments.
