This is an insightful journey into the finer details of how living things fly. We take the viewers through the flying styles and patterns of the oldest flyer in the world – the dragonfly, moving on to arguably the most beautiful insect flyer – the butterfly and then we look into the bumblebee myth – is it true that bees, technically, cannot fly? For our feathered friends, we look at the good flyer – the eagle; the poor flyer – the chicken and the no-flyer – the kiwi bird.

Although aeroplanes and helicopters have been modeled after birds and insects’ flight characteristics, the origin of flight remains a mystery to scientists and paleontologists worldwide. This story seeks to elucidate the secrets and wonders of flight.
