Researchers studied ribbon halfbeak flying behavior to optimize 'tandem wing' airplane design. These fish twist their bodies to create horizontal tail wings, reducing downwash effect on main wing.
Researchers studied the water boatman's hind wings, which exhibit superhydrophobicity, playing a crucial role in its swimming, breathing, and balance. The study reveals that the insect's wing surface contains low surface energy materials, creating a hierarchical structure that enables it to swim freely and escape easily from water.
Butterflies use their hind wings to make quick turns and evade predators, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study found that removing hind wings reduces turning acceleration in half, making it harder for predators to catch them.
