Inventing the umbrella does not overturn despite being blown by the wind ... the ladybug wings

Scientists believe that ladybirds are the key to creating a type of umbrella (though) that does not overturn despite the wind blowing.

The wings of the colorful beetle have been neatly folded like complicated origami paper beneath the hard shell, when flying, these folds are flat and strong. The aforementioned folding mechanism is still a mystery because no one can see how the wings of these magical wings are visible.

However, scientists in Japan used transparent plastic and transplanted into ladybirds, creating a window to see how this process actually happened.

They used high-speed cameras and CT scans to observe folding and opening movements of hidden wings. The team discovered that the curved vein helped support the wings as they straightened and folded. The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The team of scientists announced the discovery will help explain how the ladybug's elastic wings can maintain their strength and stiffness during flight. From there, it is possible to improve the design of umbrellas, satellites, medical devices and fans.

Assistant professor Kazuya Saito, Tokyo University's Institute of Industrial Science, said: "I believe that the ladybug's wings can change the umbrella design (though), basically unchanged for over 1000 years."

Kazuya Saito explained: "Normally, structures that can be changed require many parts, including joints and other hardware, but ladybug effectively uses flexibility, elasticity, and achieves complex transformation. only by very simple structures, the umbrella frame has many joints and is easy to break at expansion joints.The winged frame of the ladybug will be seamlessly flexible so it cannot be destroyed even when the wind is strong. .

Ladybugs are very flexible insects that can switch between flying and flying quickly and easily because they can extract or fly wings at high speed.
