Birds’ V-Formation Is Partially A Matter Of Self-Orchestrated Timing

News Analysis: Avian Scientists studying the V-Formation Flight Characteristics of Birds have determined that each Bird in formation utilizes the Energy Contribution (EC) of the Bird immediately in front of them. The added wind current of the preceding Bird is used to lessen the Energy Requirements of the subsequent Bird.  The Birds learn where their individual flight position is optimal to attain the preceding bird’s ‘EC’. The “Loser” in the ‘EC’ exchange is the Lead Bird many observers might say.

Since some Scientists maintain that the “Head of the Flock” (Older and Wiser) is not necessarily the Lead Bird of a V-Formation, perhaps “Rank Has Its Privileges” in the Avian World also.

Reality.

Albatross Acrobatics are Ancient Aeronautic Enabling Anomaly

News Analysis:  Albatross Acrobatics Are Ancient Aeronautic Enabling Anomaly which may have Profound Aircraft Drone Benefits for one. The data these Scientists developed may be  synthesized, with the physical behavior elements discovered,  into Aircraft Drone Design [Hardware and Software]. Intercontinental  Flights with a bare minimum of fuel might be attained as a result. 

An Aircraft Drone carrying Cameras and Telemetry Equipment could engage in extensive Topographic Studies across  an Entire Continent using “ALBATROSS AERONAUTICS” [AA].  Using ‘AA’ for example across dense jungle such as the Amazon Rain-forest of Brazil would allow for little concern of fuel shortage in flight. Another employment might be the continual tracking of very small boats in  waterways of the world such as the “Strait of Malacca” (a 805 kilometer [500 Miles] long waterway dividing Indonesian Sumatra from the Malaysian Peninsula).

Investors who read, think, and then act, may prosper financially from this “Ancient ‘State-Of-The-Art'” Technology used in the Avian World.
