The Munich Olympic Stadium and Dragonfly Wings
Dragonfly wings are one three-thousandth of a millimeter thick.
Despite being so thin, however, they are very strong since they con-
sist of up to 1,000 sections. Thanks to this compartmental structure
the wings do not tear, and are able to withstand the pressure that
forms during flight. The roof of the Munich Olympic Stadium was de-
signed along the same principle.
