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

Table 5

Test of convergence.

Falcons stoop from 800m altitude and 600m horizontal distance from the prey. The prey flies erratically. See Eq 100 for a definition of e_dt.
