INSECT FLIGHT, WHICH EVEN
SCIENTISTS ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE,
IS ONE OF THE PROOFS OF THE INFINITE
KNOWLEDGE AND MIGHT OF ALLAH
Engineers seeking to imitate insect flight are faced with the fact that flies turn
their wings in a figure-eight movement. The wing surface facing upward in the
first half of the cycle faces downwards in the second. In order to replicate
such a flight, a plane would have to add revolving wings moving from a joint.
Even more difficult would be programming a computer to ensure the rapid
and controlled movement of such wings. It is impossible even to dream of
constructing such a system with present-day technology. The engineers seek-
ing to replicate insect flight dream of producing robot insects whose flight
can be controlled in the narrow corridors and rooms of buildings.
