Paradigm for mini-aircraft – locusts are excellent fliers so, researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), together with the University of Oxford and the optical metrology company LaVision GmbH, are studying them in a wind tunnel at DLR Göttingen. The insects are fixed to small rods with a drop of glue, which can be removed upon completion of the tests without harming them.
