← Nature & AnimalsWhich impairment occurs avian flight feather when barbules lose interlocking hook structures?
A)Reduced lift due to air leakage✓
B)Increased drag due to turbulent flow
C)Decreased maneuverability agile swoops
D)Elevated stalls during slow speeds
💡 Explanation
When barbules lose interlocking hook structures, feather vane becomes porous because integrity necessary to maintain aerodynamic surface compromised reduces its ability generate lift. Therefore reduced caused the leakage by this form happens now then alternative results.
