🪿 Goose V-Formation Lab: Upwash Drag Savings, Wind Drift and Fat-Fuel Range

Fly a flock of geese in V formation over a mountain-and-coast landscape and see how trailing-vortex upwash cuts induced drag, how fat burns, and how tail, head and crosswinds change the range. Live power curves, per-bird power bars, an upwash map and a panel of independent numerical checks.
