Hypothetical: Gravity and birds.
I had a strange dream the other night, the earth lost it's gravity.
Stranger still, a friend told me they had the same dream and the sky was full of dead birds.
Spooky.
However, apart from the cataclysmic events that would probably follow, a question came to mind.
What would the dynamics of a bird in flight be like if there was air, but no gravity? How would the aerodynamics of lift, drag and propulsion change for a feathered bird?
