Leonardo da Vinci closely observed the anatomy and flight of birds  proposed "flying machines"... known today as an aeroplane-https://www.learnbiomimicry.com/blog/best-biomimicry-examples

Swiss engineer named George de Mestral was out hunting with his dog when he realized small burrs from the burdock plant were stuck to his dog’s hair. On closer inspection, he realized that these tiny hooks and loops can be made into clothing or garment fasteners which led to the discovery of velcro -https://www.learnbiomimicry.com/blog/best-biomimicry-examples

Researchers in 2008, mimicking the mosquito, developed a 3 prong needle that significantly reduced the pain caused by needle insertion. The methodology is improving and science is getting ever closer to mimicking those pesky bugs in a good way.---https://www.learnbiomimicry.com/blog/best-biomimicry-examples

model flippers reduced drag by 33% and increased lift by 8%. Whale Power, Canada, has already implemented them on their wind turbines and this has increased the efficiency by over 40% over the traditional wind turbine in some cases.---https://www.learnbiomimicry.com/blog/best-biomimicry-examples

 Sharkskin films have been used on aircrafts to reduce drag and the fuel needed. It has also been used on ships to reduce the growth of algae and barnacles as well as reduce drag.

1. The B-2 stealth bomber needed the ability to maintain its speed while diving to avoid anti-air defenses. 

2. The US Navy needed to increase the efficiency of a large unmanned submersible that could function for a long time without needing interference, so they used the highly efficient body design of manta rays to decrease the amount of energy used so that it could function for longer.

3. EU researchers were looking for ways to increase the flight time of drones, so they looked to birds, and their ability to use wind currents and glide to save energy.

4. After looking at shark skin under an electron microscope, scientists noticed that it had tiny scales called dermal denticles that created channels for the water to flow. The grooves lessened water turbulence which made water flow by more easily. This was applied to swimsuits, which were so effective that they have since been banned from competitive swimming.

1. Have you seen the Mission Impossible movie where Ethan Hunt climbs a building using climbing pads? These pads are designed to mimic the biomechanics of gecko feet.

2. Wingsuits sometimes used by daredevils in extreme sports like skydiving and base jumping mimic the skin flaps that allow flying squirrels and sugar gliders to sail through the air from tree to tree!

3. The 30 St Mary Axe skyscraper in London was inspired by a marine animal called a Venus flower basket. It turns out this type of formation is incredibly strong and structurally sound, such that it was incorporated into the external structure of this building.
