Which flight adaptation occurs when a bird with high wing loading soars at low speeds?

💡 Explanation

When a bird with high wing loading soars at low speeds, increased camber becomes crucial because the airfoil's curvature enhances lift generation without increasing airspeed by actively reshaping the wing. Therefore increased camber results, rather than alula manipulation, glide ratio modifications or aspect ratio, which are less effective at low speeds.
