Flying without a motor, inspired by birds
Would it be possible to fly without a motor? The first human tests that tried to imitate birds were unsuccessful. However, nowadays, researchers are analyzing the gliding flight of large species, such as the albatross and its gradient flight.

Whether it's visual artists or the film industry, total immersion in a work of art no longer seems a science-fiction idea.
