ALBATROSS
Albatross a spectacular bird in flight
With a wing span of 12 feet, a delight
Bird of southern ocean and north pacific
Float on sea
surface, vulnerable to predators aquatic
Albatross, a
symbolic good omen
For ancient
mariners, a good luck sign
High
efficient fliers in air
Scientists
learn a lot from flight of theirs
Birds use
dynamic soaring and slope soaring to cover
Large distance over
Sea , no exertion whatsoever
Dynamic
soaring benefitting from vertical gradient in air
Raising into
wind and descend down as they desire
Slope
soaring uses rising windward side of large waves
A slope drop
of 1 meter, takes it forward 22 meters
Can fly 1000
kilometers a day, without flapping wings
South to
north clockwise or north to south anti clockwise routes
Air planes
and drones designers, learn a lot from you
Johannes
Traugott , German scientist got a patent
on this
Albatross
lives for fifty years to sixty years
Love their
natural colony to breed and parenting days
