But what happens when we are searching for the keywords "tiger moth", then that appears dominated by a low-wing monoplane, classic aircraft.

Why is that?

I think that this is an example of technology products are inspired by animals.

Here I show a classic aircraft "de Havilland DH.71 Tiger Moth"

  • Role: high-speed research and racing monoplane
  • National origin: United Kingdom
  • Manufacturer: De Havilland Aircraft Company
  • First flight: 24 June 1927

Below I make a comparison between the striped tiger and tiger moth.
