Discussion Draft - Part 2

Due to using intermediate flight speeds for calibration purposes, pectoralis power data for cockatiels and doves are overestimated at slow speeds and underestimated at fast speeds. Apart from the pectoralis muscles, data from other relevant wing muscles was not recorded in this study, and the role of the tail in reducing power requirements at slow speeds was unaddressed. Finally, the model struggled to accurately measure drag at faster speeds due to a gap in the knowledge of the components of total drag.
