Examining the extraordinary physiology of animals who launch themselves into the air - whether winged or wingless; bearing feathers, fur, or scales; by day or night. Shot both in the field and on controlled sets, the series reveals the minute details of wing beats and the science of how a tiny Leaf Hopper pulls 500G on takeoff. Each episode concludes with a behind-the-scenes view of how it was made.
