Nature's Supersonic Predator: The Peregrine Falcon’s Speed and Its Influence on Aerospace Design

Nature's Supersonic Predator: The Peregrine Falcon’s Speed and Its Influence on Aerospace Design

No, it is not coincidence.  The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is the fastest bird in the world, and not only that, it is also the fastest animal of all.  Its daily flight is around 100 km/h, but when it comes to hunting it is capable of diving at more than 300 km/h.

Its entire anatomy is perfectly adapted for the extreme speeds it can achieve.  For this reason, it is not new that part of its aerodynamics has been adopted in the aerospace sector.
