Sounds like a great way to spend money as the country's economy is sinking due to government debt!

Why? So they can get the TSA goons to frisk the snakes before they fly?!?!

Utter insanity - the article pretty much describes how the snakes glide from a tree, but our tax dollars are needed.

I agree, but often these studies are also provided to the military in hopes it may advance our military capacity.
Sorry, i could barely keep a straight face typing that.

The DARPA is funding this research. Apparently, they see potential practical applications. IMHO, they’re right.

Gotta spend the entire budget... no matter how stupid.
This is like pay for the military. Everything held under the umbrella of “supporting the troops”. No looking for corruption allowed. Oh no. You can trust us.....

Saw it on Discovery Channel. Already been solved.
Why are they funding a study on something that is not a question?

Good grief. We already know this. Their undersides form a curve to hold the air so they can float longer. Now, can I have my tax dollars back?

Earn money by working.
Pay taxes to government.
Watch government flush money.
Down the toilet.

Since the ‘how’ has been long established, I believe DARPA is paying for an integrated, computerized analysis of the high-speed photography to design a comparable self-modulating aerofoil for testing and evaluation.
(you made that all up, didn’t you?)
(yeah.... but it sure sounded good)

Why aren’t they studying flying cockroaches? Why let the Chi-Coms get the advantage on us?!!!
