Dragonfly flight experts have always been in the human eye: lateral flying, flying is easy, hover, vertical from top to bottom LEGO.
On the flexibility, even the most advanced man-made aircraft do not compare. According to United Kingdom to New Scientist magazine reported that the United States scientists specifically created a micro-chip, hoping to crack the complex of the Dragonfly's flight control system, developed for the future of unmanned aerial vehicles and other aircraft to provide inspiration.
Responsible for the study of the United States electrical engineers at Duke University mate·leinuozi said, the Dragonfly's wings to allow it to control shuttles back and forth, its freedom and control than the current all man-made aircraft wings. Flapping-eating insects, dragonfly must keep their mouths and prey running in a straight line, quickly move horizontally, precisely vertical-takeoff, it all depends on the unique fly control.
To understand this process, Reynolds and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a research team has been specially made a micro chip smaller than the zhijiagai. At only 38 mg of this chip, is self-one-tenth of the Dragonfly. Electrodes in micro-chip and Dragonfly 16 neural neural cables connected to the neural signals so you can get the Dragonfly flight control system. Chip attached to the belly of the Dragonfly as a whole, due to the small size, light weight, it is not distraction to dragonflies flying and catching food. At work, chip wirelessly gets power, able to transfer data of 5 megabytes per second, broadband transmission speeds with ordinary families.
In the experiment, researchers in Drosophila as bait, test flight of the dragonfly, and at a high speed camera to shoot. Combination of micro data from the chip attached to the body of the dragonfly, they will be able to obtain details of Dragonfly wings flight regularity and control movement.
The researchers said, through the ability to analyze or to solve the high flight of the Dragonfly secret, so as to develop more flexible, agile unmanned aerial vehicles and aircraft.
