New research unlocks clues about the iconic flight of the #WanderingAlbatross
https://phys.org/news/2022-11-clues-iconic-flight-albatross.htmlObservations and models of across-wind flight speed of the wandering #albatross https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.211364
#WanderingAlbatrosses limit their maximum across-wind airspeeds to ~ 20 m/s in higher wind speeds (and greater wind turbulence), probably to keep the aerodynamic force on their wings during #DynamicSoaring well below the mechanically-tolerable limits of wing strength.
