Question 18

Decades ago,newspaper headlines announced that scientists had proven that bumblebees could not fly.The actual situation involved measurements of the nerve impulses to the flight muscles.This count of nerve impulses,translated to one wing beat per impulse,was too low for the surface area of the bumblebee wing to lift the big bumblebee body off the ground.The formula for calculating the lift of a wing surface was well-demonstrated for airplane wings.From our present knowledge of insect wing control,did scientists actually prove that bumblebees could not fly,and why do we no longer consider this aerodynamic calculation a problem?

Accepted Answer

No, scientists did not actually prove th
