Saturday Respite: Flight

June 29, 2012 by Scott Dorsey Leave a Comment


Back in the 1930s, a scientist postulated that the bubblebee somehow defied the laws of aerodynamics.  Based on what was known about flight 80 years ago, he was correct.  The bumblebee doesn't fly like airplane, however, rather like a helicopter (a craft that wasn't understood at that time). Thus it is with this performance. How does a euphonium articulate that fast?
