Which outcome reduces soaring efficiency when damage disrupts feather alignment?

💡 Explanation

When feather barbules are damaged, profile drag significantly increases because optimized airfoil contours are disrupted triggering induced drag, therefore soaring efficiency reduces, rather than buoyancy as air sacs relate to respiratory capacity or lower energetic effort in flap frequency alone.
