Engineering-minded scientists have taken notice that many types of fish have bodies shaped like a low-drag airfoil that are characteristic of airplane wings. Now, a new research study has proven that the engineered mechanics of this design in fish provide optimized movement and thrust for swimming.1

Human-designed airplane wings have a rounded leading edge combined with a smoothly tapered trailing section that is uniquel… More…
