GENERAL REQUIREMENTS OF CREATURES MOVING THROUGH A FLUID MEDIUM (INCLUDING WATER OR FLYING THROUGH AIR) Reduce drag – convergence on a fusiform body shape. Propulsion – thrust Maintain stability – maneuver, brake, stop (land)

DRAG Drag is the resistance that air (or any other fluid) imposes on the motion of the flying creature. Drag is reduced by reducing friction – smooth skin, feathers laid down close to body. Drag is reduced by a fusiform body shape. Drag is reduced by reducing surface area presented to fluid. Drag is reduced by having narrow wing tips with pointed wings (like a jet fighter).

THE FUSIFORM BODY SHAPE Generally torpedo shaped. Blunter nose than tail Appendages detract from completely fusiform body shape and so must compensate by generating lift.

Fusiform body shape

Gradient of cross-sectional morphologies. In a terrestrial environment, stability is gained in transition from a circular to flattened design. The reverse occurs in a fluid environment (i.e., air, water) with the flatten profile being unstable. If canted at angle, the flat plate will produce lift which will destabilize its position, whereas no lift is incurred for the circular profile

Comparison of the stable arrow design with the dolphin morphology. Factors associated with stability from an arrow model are listed. The center of gravity on the arrow and dolphin is indicated by the black dot.

Dolphins employ a “lift-based” propulsion strategy.

Lateral undulations passing down the body of a fish generate a posterolateral force (vector). As the body moves side-to- side, right and left components of the vectors cancel, resulting in a caudally directed force. Equal and opposing reactive force of the water pushes the fish forward.
