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.

MIT engineers created a wetsuit inspired by the fur of beavers and sea otters

Velcro was inspired by the tiny hooks on burs
The design of B-2 bombers mimics the look of peregrine falcons
1. Niaochao in Beijing, China. Architects mimicked the shape of a bird nest to accommodate more people and a stronger structure.
2. the blades of wind turbines come from the fins of whales. It's the most effective way of going against the air or water.
3. The swimming suits are designed based on fish skins.
4. how plants' evapotranspiration inspired a new kind of toilet.
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.
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.
It is a swimsuit that is less resistant to water and makes the person who has the suit on faster than those not wearing it.
