NEW YORK — The next time you see birds flying in a V, consider this: A new study says they choreograph the flapping of their wings with exquisite precision to help them on their way. Subscribe to read ...

(WHTM) — In Pennsylvania, you may see many geese throughout the year. During the fall and winter months, you may hear them honking as they fly overhead in a V shape. When the geese are in a V ...

Birds have inspired human flight for centuries, but Shabnam Raayai thinks they can also offer lessons in reducing energy consumption. A fellow at the Rowland Institute at Harvard, Raayai works to ...

Birds of a feather may flock together, but why they fly in V formations has never been known for certain. Now, with the help of 14 northern bald ibises fitted with lightweight sensors on a 600-mile ...

OK, this is just cool: We all know birds fly in V-formations, but an in-depth study into the pattern using high-tech GPS sensors has found just how precise a science the flight model is. After ...

Airbus will have fuel-saving v-formation flight tests of two Airbus A350 aircraft with airline tests as early as 2021 with flights over oceans. Flying in v-formation could reduce fuel usage by 5-10%.
