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.
