In badminton, the shuttlecock is a perfect example of aerodynamics at work. Its cone-like shape and feathered skirt create high drag, allowing it to slow down quickly and remain stable in flight. During manufacturing, shuttlecocks are carefully tested and calibrated to ensure they spin just right — this spin keeps them balanced and prevents wobbling mid-air. Thanks to aerodynamic design, each shot is controlled, precise, and consistent during fast-paced gameplay. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INT
