Raptor wing morphing with flight speed [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2021 In gliding flight, birds morph their wings and tails to control their flight trajectory and speed. Using high-resolution videogrammetry, we reconstructed accurate and detailed three-dimensional geometries of gliding flights for three raptors (barn owl,Tyto alba; tawny owl,Strix aluco, and goshawk,Accipiter gentilis).
