For 25 years he has studied the flight of hovering insects , and is convinced that ordinary aeroplanes are built on the wrong principles . His machine has two sets of rotor vanes , motor driven , each projecting a stream of compressed air under the fuselage . If his theory is correct , expansion of the streams will lift the insect plane . Photo shows the insect plane being prepared for her first flight . 30 April 1934"
