Decode the ability to fly invisibility in the owl

The ability of the owl to glide smoothly while hunting can help to research the production of less noisy passenger aircraft than today.

Experts at the University of Cambridge (UK) found that this nocturnal creature has distinctive wing feathers that allow them to glide smoothly in the air and hunt in an 'invisible' way.

'Many species develop fur in a special way to effectively remove the aerodynamic sound emanating from the wings, allowing them to hunt and catch prey by using only headphones , ' said Justin Jaworski. This is a special point that other species, like pigeons, cannot.

Therefore, they are conducting an analysis of their wing structure to learn more about the ability to reduce noise, thereby switching to civil aircraft design.

Normally, with wings, whether natural or artificial, such as airplanes, noise is caused by air turbulence created while air moves through the tail drive.

Therefore, deciphering the mystery behind the extremely smooth flying of the owl can help design wings for better flying devices.
