11、e vibrations (振动) that occur when a bird beats its wings. The result is perfect silence as it approaches a mouse or other prey.Scientists used lasers and high-speed cameras to analyze and compare long-eared owl, eagle and pigeon feathers during flight. While differing in size, all three birds have a
12、 similar wing-beat style.Professor Jinkui Chu led the research. He said, “Many owls have a unique and fascinating ability to fly so silently that they are out of their preys hearing range, due to their feather structure.”This behaviour has long been of interest to engineers, as we seek to apply the
13、owls noise-reduction mechanisms (机制) to other purposes and situations that benefit society.Now, however, we know the owls silent flight ability is even better than we thought. Of all birds the owl is the king of acoustic stealth. It not only manages to prevent aerodynamic noise when gliding, but als
14、o mechanical noise caused by vibration during flying.This is remarkable, considering the sudden jumping, bending and twisting the wings are subjected to when flapping and the noise that is created by other birds.In the scientific world, the process used to remove this mechanical noise is called damp
15、ing, which means the removal of mechanical energy from a vibrating system usually by changing it into heat and allowing it to remain steady.“Our research showed the long-eared owl has superior damping skill, meaning it can remain amazingly stable and remove mechanical noise caused by the movement of its feathers quite an impressive a
