Bumblebee flying higher than the "Everest"
A study conducted by scientists from the United States showed that the huge buzz bee can fly at altitudes exceeding high summit of Mount Everest, although it may seem graceful.
In order to offset the decline in the bee atmospheric pressure at high altitudes -obaltala lifting Alhoaúa- they drop dramatically increase the range of angular movement of the wing, while maintaining a constant rate of strokes wing.
And enables scientists Michael E. Dillon and Robert Dudley, Department of Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, constipation mention those Bee (scientific name Bomps Aambetosus) on the Alps at an altitude of 3250 meters near the town of Rielong in Sichuan province in southwest China.
After measuring the body mass to mention that the bee, which ranged between 91 ms and 129 grams, scientists put the bees in flight chamber length in a transparent glass display at a height of 30 cm. They then went out and then the gradual downward air pressure in the room, commensurate with the increase in height, and record the ability of bees to climb to the upper half of the room and fly there.
And succeeded all the bees to fly in air pressure equivalent to that found at an altitude of 7400 meters, and the three flew above the height of eight thousand meters, while flying two in air pressure similar to that found at altitudes of more than 9 thousand meters higher than the summit of Mount Everest's a height of 8848 meters and is the highest mountain in the world. The scientists described these results as "surprising".
It is noteworthy that the bee is not the only insect in the world that fly at high altitude. He was pointing to find many of the aircraft types and butterflies at altitudes approaching 6 thousand meters.
