Did you know a fly has a gearbox
Flies are superbly maneuverable. Sometimes they flap just one wing at a time, or one wing needs to torque faster for a sharp turn. If there is a mechanical coupling between the wing pairs, how can that happen?
fly wings work like a manual clutch on a car's transmission. Combined with past research, this suggests that fly wing gearboxes have four gears; 1 neutral and 3 drives. The gears control how far up and down the wings move, varying the power in each wing stroke. If you put one wing in Neutral gear, it will idle while the other wing remains in drive and continues to flap.
And now you know how flies became the race cars of the insect world
