Pentagon seeks secret of flying snakes

the squirrels just have to learn how to flap. not sure a snake with its chest spread open can flap even if it knew how. Hahaha, there's a lot more to it than just learning how to flap. lol

"Pentagon seeks secret of flying snakes" Surely, if they just waterboard the snakes, they'll tell them any secrets they want to hear.

Hahaha, there's a lot more to it than just learning how to flap. lol lol so true. if flapping were all it took, my daughter could fly using her jaws alone roflmao

lol so true. if flapping were all it took, my daughter could fly using her jaws alone roflmao HAHAHAHAHA, your poor daughter.

Hahaha, there's a lot more to it than just learning how to flap. lol perhaps but i would think that the squirrals and the snake all ready have most if not all of the other knowledge, since they can glide.

Before I read the whole story, the first thing that came to mind was: Great. This is what our tax dollars are going towards. Flying snake research. AVWMB, good joke. I thought more snakes on a plane references would come pouring in though

perhaps but i would think that the squirrals and the snake all ready have most if not all of the other knowledge, since they can glide. They need wings, which neither of them has.

Heck it took them a good looong while to finally start looking at nature and how it achieves it's wonders. It's already practiced and used in architecture, motor industry, tyre design and such, instead of opting for human tendency of squares, triangles and circles, even shapes and numbers, when designers study and then try to mimic nature, they are achieving better results than they could have had using only our straight forward thinking. Key to natures designs is in fractals, their shapes and numbers. Probably they will find that proportion of these snakes weight to surface of air resistance ... [More]

The video of theflying snake was pretty cool, I wonder why the Pentagon is so interested in it. This country has more important things to do with our tax payers dollars, like investing it in healthcare and education for example.
