Fig. 7. Comparison of measured and predicted metabolic power (Pmet) for (A) bird 15 and (B) bird 19. Pmet was predicted for both birds from the lifting line model assuming a constant efficiency of 0.23 (LL, EFM=0.23) and a constant efficiency of 0.18 (LL, EFM=0.18) and for bird 15 from the vortex ring model assuming a constant efficiency of 0.23 (VR, EFM=0.23) and a constant efficiency of 0.18 (VR, EFM=0.18), where EFM is flight muscle efficiency.
