+ouija ouija Posted August 17, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hmmm, I'm not sure I go along with what was being said in that very short clip of an interview. Quote: "If an owl can move quietly then perhaps planes can too"! Well the first glaring difference between an owl and a plane is that one has an ENGINE!! Plus, owls(and other birds), are quiet when they are gliding .... a little noisier when they are flapping their wings. I'm all for engines being quieter, but I don't see how the inspiration for this can come from a bird. aside:I've seen sparrow hawks catch prey easily because they fly just a foot or so off the ground. The prey doesn't catch sight of the silhouette against the sky and therefore has no warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
