    Wings and Flight
    Dragonflies are equipped with two sets of wings, so they do not have to beat their wings simultaneously. They flap their wings at a rate of 30 beats per second. These fliers can reach a top speed of 100 km/h. Their flight is similar to that of a helicopter; they can fly forward, backward, up, and down. And guess what? They are also capable of hovering! Such flying skills are achieved by powerful flight muscles and wings that can move independently.
