According to earlier laws of Aviation, there was no way that a bee should be able to fly.
Its wings are way too small to get its fat little body off the ground.
The bees, of course, flew anyway.
Because bees didn’t care what humans thought was impossible

Wrong. The bee’s wings generate a vortex, which lifts it up. If it defied the laws of aviation it would not be able to fly.

Ya! Hence the terms “earlier laws of Aviation” and “was”.
This out-of-date knowledge aided in invention of the VTAL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) in the Harrier Jumpjet Aircrafts.
When i stole this remarks, it said “modern laws of aviation” and “is”.
Thanks for pointing it out.
