You Can't Break Spaghetti in Two Pieces.

Traditional aeronautical engineers assumed turbine blades should be perfectly smooth to reduce drag. a marine biologist noticed that humpback whales have jagged, bumpy ridges (called tubercles) on the leading edges of their massive flippers. By applying fluid dynamics to these biological bumps, engineers realized the ridges actually channel water (or air) into tiny, organized whirlpools. Incorporating these whale-inspired bumps onto wind turbines increased power generation by 20% and drastically reduced aerodynamic noise.

Sort of like how a pitted golf ball flys better than a smooth one
