Fig. 3. Wind effect in species that flew by bounding (A), continuous flapping (B) and flap-gliding (C) with reduced major-axis lines. ‘Tail wind’ is the scalar difference between ground speed and air speed. Horizontal dashed lines show the minimum power speed (Vmp) and the minimum gliding speed (Vmin) assuming a maximum lift coefficient of 1.6.
