Scientists studying avian flight have discovered a previously unknown flight mode that allows sparrows to hover without needing to flap their wings, something previously thought to be impossible. "We are still unclear as to the exact mechanism, but we hope to obtain $10,000,000 to study the phenomenon further. Considering the enormous potential of propulsion free flight, we think this should be studied."
