The peregrine falcon, the fastest creature on Earth, swoops down on its prey at speeds of up to 400 km/h, unaffected by the tremendous atmospheric pressure. The secret lies in a small bone in its nose called the "spur," which slows airflow and protects its respiratory system. This engineering marvel has inspired aeronautical engineers, inspiring the design of modern engines, contributing to increased aircraft speed and improved stability. Even the billion-dollar American B-2 bomber was inspired by the aerodynamics of the peregrine falcon during a strike.❤️️❤️️❤️️
