Hummingbirds – Helicopters
I am sure you wonder how Hummingbirds and helicopters are similar right? They both have the ability to hover in place without moving, they can move horizontal and vertically while hovering if they choose to. But surprisingly, Hummingbirds gave helicopters some pro tips as that affected the way helicopters fly.
Researchers from Stanford University and Wageningen University tested 12 different hummingbird species and found thing that changed our known helicopter models. They found that the hummingbird’s wings are large for their body and how powerful these wings are. These findings also help to save power energy for helicopters and made them better thanks to hummingbird’s pro tip.
