Airbus is experimenting with a flight formation inspired by nature in an effort to cut fuel consumption and reduce aviation’s environmental footprint. The concept borrows directly from how birds fly ...

NEW YORK – The next time you see birds flying in a V, consider this: A new study says they choreograph the flapping of their wings with exquisite precision to help them on their way. That's what ...

OK, this is just cool: We all know birds fly in V-formations, but an in-depth study into the pattern using high-tech GPS sensors has found just how precise a science the flight model is. After ...

Flying birds often arrange themselves into a crisp, perfect V, so why not an S? What's wrong with M and B and the other neglected letters? Now the first extreme close-up of birds flying in a V ...

DEAR JOAN: My friends and I have a question, but none of us seem to have the answer. We quite often see large and small flocks of birds in the sky, flying in such beautiful, graceful formations. What ...

The next time you see birds flying in a V, consider this: A new study says they choreograph the flapping of their wings with exquisite precision to help them on their way. That’s what scientists ...

Migrating birds flying in formation display aviation skills that dwarf those of human pilots, a study has found. The birds precisely time the flapping of their wings and adjust their position to make ...

When birds fly south for the winter, how do they keep from bumping into each other? —Elaine Temper, St. Louis, Mo. Birds are "like chorus girls"—and not just because of the feathers. When the leader ...

Scientists from the Royal Veterinary College fitted data loggers to a flock of rare birds that were being trained to migrate by following a microlight. This revealed that the birds flew in the optimal ...

(WHTM) — In Pennsylvania, you may see many geese throughout the year. During the fall and winter months, you may hear them honking as they fly overhead in a V shape. When the geese are in a V ...

Their position and the timing of wing flaps allows them to use energy efficiently Sensors attached to a flock of ibises allowed researchers to reach conclusion Research helps confirm theories ...
