Flying Without a Rudder

Aircraft typically use a vertical tail to keep the craft from rolling or yawing. Birds, on the other hand, maneuver their wings and tail feathers to counter unwanted motions. (Image credit: E. Chang/Lentink Lab; research credit: E. Chang et al.; via Physics Today) Read the full article

I am a firm believer that BirdFlight is the perfect candidate for a super edition

For those who don’t know her, she is CloudStars mate in CloudStars Journey and when SkyClan was forced out of their homes she was left behind since she had just given birth to CloudStars kits. She ends up living in ThunderClan and her kits are supposedly related to TigerStar.

Why she should have a superedition:

- We know nothing about her! Super editions and Novellas are the perfect opportunity to get to know characters that aren’t well explored within the books.

- Before SkyClan left they were in some BIG beef with ThunderClan over territory and some other things I forgot, BirdFlight was left in a clan that HATES the clan she was just in! It’s the perfect set up for conflict with BirdFlights heritage and her kits future.

- We get a queen POV! I’d love her POV as a queen with her fretting over her kits as they grow up in ThunderClan.

- I personally believe that the main problem is that BirdFlight is not allowed to tell her kits that they are SkyClan cats and that she’s banned from mentioning anything about her heritage.

- RedStar would 100% be the villain of the story. If I remember correctly it was his medicine cat that actually suggested that BirdFlight and her kits join ThunderClan, not him.

- The book would fit perfectly in the gap between CloudStars Journey and MapleShades Vengeance.

- We would get to likely see a young MapleShade, or maybe even MapleShades parents. I’d like it if the Erin’s retconned that BirdFlight is related to TigerStar and instead made it so that one of her kits is actually MapleShades parents.

Those are most of my reasons, I know it’s not likely that she would get a superedition since no one really knows or remembers her. Maybe if I spread enough propaganda maybe the Erin’s will notice

Chicken is flying above green ocean with grass and trees

Three dimensional scene for today. It is simple. About theme 486dx2. 3d graphics. And a bird. Like skylark or goose. He is flying. Crane. A bird with a long neck. About green surface, I see this in a dream during sleep! And I want to make it!

So, bird is flying. Everything is so calm and good. Below – it is, maybe, a fir trees., But, from such big height, it hard to see, what certain it is. Or, maybe, below - it is a field.

And, bird make neck long forward. He flies forward. In a distance forward. It can be a game level. For a game with style of retro graphics. As a first three d. When it was without accelerators of three dimensional graphics. Bird is flying. Everything is calm and silence. So, meditative way, he flies.

And, bird has a long neck. And, it is like a chicken such a bird. Maybe, it is such a chicken. Maybe, bird even speaks when he flies. And, there are sounds of a wind. And sounds of trees or rustle of grass. But, in my dream, during the sleep, it was silence. By the way, it is starting a spring! And bird is flying to us! Through the sea of calm. As in Moon. But, here at our place! It is, so, beautiful and green grass! Made with grass, flowers and trees. Fir trees. And another trees.

It is so good and kind and funny bird. Like chicken something. He flies and look the things like see sights - all over the around place! Like simulation. Or meditative theme. To all the sides - it is green everything. And sky is blue. A little darker. And like chicken someone is flying. Good and kind. So calm way chicken flies to fly!
