About this listen
Bats are the only mammals that truly fly. And the way they do it is very different from other flying things. The way they fly has only recently been understood and there are still questions. Scientist and engineers are trying to use what they do know to create bat-inspired flying machines, but things like bats self-chambering stretching wings skin, skeleton muscles and tiny hair sensors are proving difficult to replicate.
