Synopsis "Insect Flight"

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Insects are the only group of invertebrates known to have evolved flight. Insects possess some remarkable flight characteristics and abilities, still far superior to attempts by humans to replicate their capabilities. Even our understanding of the aerodynamics of flexible, flapping wings and how insects fly is imperfect. The most obvious application of this research is in the engineering of extremely small micro air vehicles with low Reynolds numbers. Sometime in the Carboniferous Period, some 350 million years ago, when there were only two major land masses, insects began flying. How and why insect wings developed, however, is not well understood. Three main theories on the origins of insect flight are that wings developed from paranotal lobes, extensions of the thoracic terga; that they are modifications of movable abdominal gills as found on aquatic naiads of mayflies; or that they developed from thoracic protrusions used as radiators. The paranotal hypothesis suggests that the insect's wings developed from Paranotal lobes, a Preadaptation found in insects Fossils that is believed to have stabilized insects while hopping or falling.
