I was under the impression (from what I learned about how planes fly) that the spirals were actually a bad thing since energy was lost to turbulence via those (and hence why commercial jets have winglets on their wingtips) and the good part is the laminar flow of the air over and under the wings.
Be careful, I once befriended the spirals on acid and I couldn't find my penis for a solid couple minutes. It was like it had spiraled away to another place. They'll getcha!

Is this not so in animal flight?

Last I heard he was in the space-time continuum, and may or may not be missing a couch…
