At Wuchang Polytechnic College in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, students have developed bionic butterflies that are attracting attention in both the wedding planning and education sectors. These butterflies, with a wingspan of 78 centimeters, are remote-controlled and can fly over 10 meters. The team, led by Ai Yuqing, produces between 200 and 300 units each month, selling them for 1,500 yuan ($221) each. After experimenting with various materials, they found a lightweight coated polyester fabric that allows for effective flight. The bionic butterflies have become popular among wedding planners who see them as a unique alternative to traditional flower petals, as well as educational institutions that use them to teach biomimicry. The team also offers DIY kits priced between 600 and 800 yuan for hobbyists. Each finished butterfly is rigorously tested to ensure it meets quality standards before delivery.
