Which outcome occurs when a raptor experiences localized feather structural failure during a dive?

💡 Explanation

Reduced lift and increased drag arise due to disrupted airflow over the impaired feathers; this is because feathers generate lift via Bernoulli's principle. Therefore, lift drops while drag rises, rather than stalled airflow or primary reliance on alula feathers.
