Which mechanism enables peregrine falcons to achieve exceptional speed during a hunting stoop?

💡 Explanation

Falcons use boundary layer transition control via slotted feathers. This minimizes drag by maintaining streamlined airflow. Birds don't soar like Albatross; hemoglobin affinity impacts oxygen delivery, and keratin structure provides material property rather than aerodynamic function; therefore boundary layer control is correct.
