Snakes can fly and they don’t want a plane to do it. The freaky freaky beasts flatten their bodies and angle their bodies in order that they glide during the air, which lead them to capable of flying from tree to tree.
Virginia Tech’s biomechanist Jake Socha have discovered the mechanism, analyzing video frames and creating a computer model that explains how the glide during the air, saving distances provided that 15 meters. In keeping with Socha:
Our work contributes to this basic understanding of this really extraordinary way of gliding flight. There’s nothing else that does anything on the brink of this – within the engineering world or the biological world.
He probably said that with Samuel L. Jackson’s voice. Socha also says that the glide model may be used in making better, smaller, more efficient flying machines. [ The Scientist ]
