2. Birds fly fine with thin airfoils because of the low Reynolds Numbers in which they operate.

But they are able to adjust the shape of the airfoil and the wing plan as they fly... so a stall will probably never happen with a bird. They will feel it coming on and adjust accordingly.

Cheers,

Hugh
