- The stronger wing and tail vortices provide extra aerodynamic forces through vortex-induced lift for pitch and roll control. A vortex pair with a sense of rotation opposite to that from conventional planar wings interacts with the main wings vortex to reduce induced drag, which would otherwise decelerate the bird significantly during pull-out.

2 days ago · Fastest Animal. The peregrine falcon can reach a speed of up to 390 kilometers per hour, with a typical flight speed of 320 kilometers per hour. This incredible speed is achieved during its stoop, or high-speed dive, which makes it realize incredible efficiencies in trapping its prey.
Mar 1, 2014 · Peregrine falcon in flight. Researchers first trained several peregrine falcons to dive from the top of a dam to the bottom, following a specific and predictable flight path. A trainer at the top of the dam released a falcon from the same spot each time, and a second trainer at the base used a lure to attract the bird’s attention.
Apr 5, 2018 · From a flight mechanics point of view, the manoeuvrability of falcons is greatly enhanced by the vortical structures, which control the flow by suppression of separation and also due...

Aug 17, 2021 · During the pullout maneuver, peregrine falcons were observed to adopt a succession of specific flight configurations that are thought to offer an aerodynamic advantage over aerial prey. Analysis of the flight trajectory of a falcon in a controlled environment shows it experiencing load factors up to 3 𝑔 3 g, and further predictions suggest ...

Feb 5, 2014 · At the end of the flight, when the falcon completely opened its wings to reduce its velocity and to generate lift, acceleration increased up to 7.0 m s −2 for landing. During the pull out phase the falcon significantly decreased its flight path angle θ and most notably its velocity.

The peregrine falcon has the additional advantage of a natural flight style of circling above the falconer ("waiting on") for game to be flushed, and then performing an effective and exciting high-speed diving stoop to take the quarry.
Powerful and fast-flying, the Peregrine Falcon hunts medium-sized birds, dropping down on them from high above in a spectacular stoop. They were virtually eradicated from eastern North America by pesticide poisoning in the middle 20th century.
