Peregrine Falcon

Fastest creature on the Earth

The peregrine falcon, the fastest creature on Earth, swoops down on its prey at 400 km/h without being affected by the enormous air pressure.

The secret?

• A small bone in its nose called the "tubercles", which slows the airflow and protects its respiratory system.

Aeronautical engineering

• This engineering marvel inspired aeronautical engineers, and the design of modern engines was inspired by it, which increased the speed of aircraft and increased their stability.

American B2 Bomber

• Even the American B-2 bomber, worth a billion dollars, was inspired by the aerodynamics of the peregrine falcon during an attack
