What is Echelon Formation in Bird Flight about?

Geese fly in a V formation to reduce air drag. The leader creates downwash and upwash that lifts the other birds, allowing them to save energy by gliding on the upwash. The birds change leaders during flight so no single bird bears the burden for long. Flying in formation provides 10-11% energy savings for the group and allows them to see clearly ahead as they migrate over long distances.
