Which advantage arises when birds use slotted feathers under turbulent conditions?

💡 Explanation

Slotted feathers energize the boundary layer via momentum transfer because separated plumes add kinetic energy to slow-moving air, therefore stall is delayed rather than inducing early turbulence; lift depends on airfoil and airspeed rather than slotting.
