To be completely fair to the birds, I think a lot of this comes from the fact that what matters for flying efficiency gets better as you size up thanks to the square-cube law: the drag is reduced and the engine efficiency increases. You co

Did some quick maths, it’s roughly 10% for the bird (2W, approx. 4g/day of fat, over 10 days) so not negligible but doesn’t change the full story. And you could argue the plane also has a baseline metabolism ;)

> I doubt our flying machines are anywhere near as energy efficient as birds This kind of nerd sniped me, so I looked into it and turns out no, planes are more efficient than birds! You have to look at the energy spent for moving a fixed

To me the main appeal of this is not that it makes cutting easier (you already reduce much of the cutting force needed if you slice across instead of pushing down, which this seems to be doing at a micrometer level) but the fact that food d
