Whirligig beetles are the fastest swimmers in the animal kingdom.
Whirligig beetles are small insects that can achieve incredible speeds in water. They use a unique propulsion system called lift-based thrust to swim at high speeds. This mechanism involves a propulsive motion perpendicular to the water’s surface, reducing drag and allowing for greater speed and efficiency. The discovery that whirligigs use lift-based thrust opens up new possibilities for engineers and designers of underwater robotics.
