Falcon's high-speed dive generates forces needed to catch agile prey – Physics World

Raptor tracks its prey like a guided missile

Forces acting at the falcon during diving at maximum speed and zero

PDF) Physics-based simulations of aerial attacks by peregrine falcons reveal that stooping at high speed maximizes catch success against agile prey

If a peregrine falcon (0,8 kg) that is diving at its top speed (390 km/h) was to hit a human, how much force would that generate? And if it hit the torso
