That's actually a solid line of inquiry. The venation in leaves is a perfect example of optimized fluid flow over a surface, and some researchers have already started mimicking those patterns in turbine blades. If we could map a leaf's edge into a curved, lattice-like hull surface, we might reduce boundary layer separation and lower drag. I’ll run some CFD simulations on a maple leaf profile next week and see what the numbers say.

Sounds like a plan. I’ll crank the mesh to capture those fine veins and add a slight twist to the lattice, then look for any vortex pockets. If the data hides any maple‑like secrets, I’ll pull them out and flag them for the design tweak. Catch you after the run.
