Flapping Flight 

Humans have always looked to nature for inspiration to solve problems. Until recently, aeronautical engineers have relied on fixed or rotating wings, because no one knew how flapping flight worked. No they have worked out many of the mechanisms of insect flight. It is a combination of oscillation and rotation of the wings, steering by moving each wing separately, and complex sensors: the spars in the wings contain liquid that detects pressure changes. The housefly even has extra stubby winglets that act as navigational gyroscopes: it is the only insect that can find its way around in the dark.
