Scientists abuzz with bee-sized aircraft
Scientists in Britain says they have figured out how insects fly, bringing bee-sized surveillance aircraft a step closer to reality. Experts from the University of Bath in south-west England have studied insect flight to find ways to build tiny aircraft that could be fitteded with cameras and sensors.
Scientists hope the discovery will help construct miniature aircraft that could be used for reconnaissance, border surveillance and spying.
Bath boffins found that bee wings are rigid at the front and flexible at the back.
The structure is the most efficient for generating maximum vortices, or spinning masses of air.
