Which process maximizes lift when flight feathers overlap?

💡 Explanation

Optimized avian wings result from minimized turbulence; interlocking feathers achieve this. Boundary layer turbulence minimization reduces drag and increases lift because laminar airflow remains attached to the wing's surface, rather than causing stalls due to turbulence.
