And what v shape mean when they fly like this.

It is Airo dynamic. In other words, for long distance flying the V formation tends to cut thru the air better, this means that the lead goose breaks the wind, and the air effect lets the others fly with less work, the lead goose drops back when tired and a "fresh" lead goose takes over, letting the tired out leader rest in the less turbulent air.

Why do ducks fly in a V? using fact it could be too stressful to fly in an S! only kidding. Scientists have desperate that the V-formed formation that ducks use while migrating serves 2 important purposes: First, it conserves their power. each and every fowl flies truly above the fowl in front of him, ensuing in a alleviation of wind resistance. The birds take turns being interior the front, falling lower back while they get drained. in this form, the ducks can fly for a protracted time in the previous they could desire to give up for relax. the 2nd income to the V formation is that that's straightforward to maintain track of each and every fowl interior the team. Fighter pilots in lots of situations use this formation for an identical reason.

Ever noticed how there seems to be lead goose dropping out and falling to the back of the formation? He is tired. All that honking is to "Fred" to get the lead out and when do we stop; I have to go potty, yada.

Aerodynamically, only the lead goose has the hardest job of pushing through the air...the others get a partial 'free ride' behind him. they trade positions when the leader gets tired.

Well, unlike the previous answers, i am going to talk in ENGLISH! The geese fly in a V-shape, because the leader of the flock, (the point of the V) flys throught the wind, "cutting" the air, creating an Updraft, making it easier for the other geese to fly. this updraft, makes it easier to fly, using less energy, so they can make it greater distances faster. i think that is VERY REMARKABLE, that geese found this out, and use the idea.

Because x formation is too hard and w was already taken.

Think NASCAR in the air. they are bump drafting.
