Compléter UNIT 5 - WORKING TOGETHERVersion en ligne PW 4 - READING - UNIT 5 par Thanh Phương Hồ Lê 1 Insects may help us improve the way we deal with dangerous situations . Scientists around the world are studying insect behavior to create tiny robots that have many of the same as insects . Insects , for example , can fly in and land on a tiny surface , and then flap their wings to fly off with amazing speed . One application for these tiny insectlike machines is in ? robots will be able to scout battlefields and record images as they hover over dangerous areas . Engineers are also building ornithopters ? aircraft that get all of their thrust and most of their lift from flapping wings . The flight mechanism of an ornithopter is essentially a of the way that an insect flaps its wings to take off and fly . These technologies offer several advantages . One benefit is that operators can the devices from a distance . As a result , they can stay out of harm's way while they perform dangerous missions in environments , such as war zones .
