NDL 181: Barn Swallow

Tails as Aerofoils to Maneuver Through Air

Tails as Aerofoils to Maneuver Through Air

Form - Forma

Barn swallows feed primarily on flying insects and has had to adapt to capturing these insects midflight, which requires controlling their speed and the ability to change directions rapidly. Barn Swallows can maneuver, flip, and alter direction using their long, forked tails to create lift and reduce drag mid-flight.

Flight maneuverability is a strategy that is very difficult to master. However, barn swallows have shown that they are one of the best teachers for it! With the use of their long, forked tails called streamers. Barn swallows can make sharp turns, twist, and even flip through the air to catch flying insects.
By understanding the mechanics behind the barn swallows flight strategies, humans can better understand what it takes to make more efficient flight maneuverability possible within aviation and aeronautics.
