...first" article? Ok, so I got the magazine through the door and started reading it intently. However, I have a question:
Did nature have space rockets first and if so, could you please show me them?
Also, the article describes very passively the invention of the internal combustion engine.
Did nature have the internal combustion engine first, if so where can they be found?
2nd addendum:
"Pilots balance modern aircraft by adjusting a few flaps on the wings and tail. But a bird uses some 48 muscles in its wing and shoulder to change the configuration and motion of its wings and individual feathers, doing so several times a second."
Now, 48 muscles? There are more than 48 actuators (mechanical muscles) involved in the control of modern jet fighters, that's for sure! Also, modern fighters employ another control system on top of their already voluminous assortment of actuators - vectored thrust. These systems alone employ hundreds of mechanical actuators to point every individual part of the nozzle correctly.
Modern fly-by-wire can achieve response times and control update frequency on the order of thousands of times a second to keep the aircraft in controlled flight that is impossible for a human pilot to achieve.
Just putting it out there, as I'd really like some clarification.
