In A Gadda Da Vida

Butterfly-Inspired Flying Robots


Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
 




The beautiful science of a butterfly's flight  


 "An undergraduate engineering student at Johns Hopkins University, Tiras Lin, has used high-speed, high-resolution cameras to gain a new perspective on the mechanics of a painted lady butterfly's flight patterns. Information gathered from his research may be used to construct better designs for micro aerial vehicles that could be used by the United States military."


Butterfly Flight Inspires Better Flying Robots

"Mechanical engineers aim high-speed video cameras at planet's prettiest bugs to obtain flight insights."
