Raptor Force
2007 National Geographic Television /Nature
Raptor Force is an adrenaline trip with nature’s deadliest aviators—birds of prey! Eagles, falcons, owls, vultures. Raptors are an elite air unit. Their sophisticated flight technology, highly tuned senses, and cunning battle tactics make them the envy of any human Air Force. Unforgettable original natural history footage including tiny onboard cameras fitted on raptors put the viewer in the co-pilot’s seat. We’ve been watching raptors for millennia. But only in the past few years have we come to understand their secrets well enough to challenge their domination of the sky with our own airborne technologies. Every aspect of raptors is coming under the lens … from feather design, to wing shape, to sensory systems, to hunting strategies. But human engineers still have a long way to go before their machines can match the performance of raptors.
