A New Objective: The Soundless Flight of Owls
The research carried out by American Air Force scientists to

develop the stealth bomber airplane is based upon the matchless
design found in an owl’s wings. Owls can approach their prey at

the dead of night without being detected due to the special design
of their wings. Other bird species have rather sharp-edged wings;
however, an owl’s feathers have a very fine—but not at all

sharp—design. This allows these nocturnal hunters to fly without
making a sound.

According to statements from the NASA’s Langley Research
Center, an owl’s soft-fringed wings prevent air turbulence, which
laypeople call noise. Military designers have imitated owl wings
