What allows flies and bees to fly when scientists say they shouldn't be able to, is because for them, our atmosphere feels like a thin oil, not air as we feel it. This gives their wings more lift than anything else can.

@DD-ne3rl They might see bees but they don't know the buzz. Or, they could be talking simple to justify being big boys building big toys, making one like an insect. A fly has what could be called an elastic band for its wings. so when they push them up the elastic pulls them down, not using muscles or energy. Can you imagine an aircraft with such a part that has the strength to keep a huge machine up in the air? If you can that makes you smarter than those men.
