Which mechanism optimizes lift generation when birds soar?

💡 Explanation

Boundary layer transition control maximizes laminar flow, enabling sustained soaring; because a laminar boundary layer minimizes drag and boosts lift. This occurs due to reduced flow interference, therefore lift optimization, rather than turbulent flow benefits.
