Which aerodynamic consequence occurs when raptor flight feathers experience excessive wear?

💡 Explanation

When flight feathers wear, reduced barb interlocking leads to increased porosity; This increases parasitic drag and reduces ability to sustain laminar flow during takeoff and slow maneuvering reduces lift. Decreased lift results, rather than improving stall angle/drag coefficient or manueverebility, which require different aerodynamic considerations..
