Some new angles

This week I’ve caught a few good photos of the Family.

 

Last post I touched on some of the Aerodynamics involved in landing. There is so much more than wings & tail going on. Well this week I caught a few more photos of different sets of feathers that also come into play, so I thought I would put up the series.

In most situations, the alula is held flush against the wing; however, it can be manipulated. When flying at slow speeds or landing. This functions in the same way as the slats on the wing of an aircraft, allowing the wing to achieve a higher than normal angle of attack – and thus lift – without resulting in a stall.

I'm still playing around with different angles.

This is the story of the Rabbit & the Snail.
Boss sees food on the way & gets the jump
on Bitey. But Bitey - well he has some smarts.
He knows that I hide the food under my hand first.

It's looking like I'm going to need a Traffic Controller around here soon.
Nearly had a mid-air disaster yesterday.

 Well that's it for this week.

I hope you enjoyed.
