From the study above, the researchers calculated one squid reached just over 16 miles per hour in the air from jetting. Macia, S. (2004). New observations on airborne jet propulsion (flight) in squid, ...

The research outlined is useful, but don’t expect to see it lead to squidbots anytime soon. For starters, the modeling done only proved the usefulness of repeated squid-jet propulsion in ...

Japanese scientists have confirmed the long-rumoured secret power of a species of oceanic squid. It can fly. The unlikely aerialists were witnessed zooming across the ocean surface for more than ...

The team drew inspiration from the jet propulsion mechanism of real squid to help the robot swim by itself. It takes some water into its flexible body, where it also stores elastic energy.

Squid Jet Propulsion Can Enhance Design of Underwater Robots, Vehicles Nov. 3, 2020 — Squids use a form of jet propulsion that is not well understood, especially when it comes to their ...

All the latest science news on jet propulsion from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Marine animals that swim by jet propulsion, such as squid and jellyfish, are not uncommon. But it’s rare to find a colony of animals that coordinates multiple jets for whole-group locomotion. This ...

While many marine creatures move via jet propulsion, squid and jellyfish included, most just have one jet. Nanomia often has ten to twenty—the exact number varies colony-to-colony.
