The inner part of a beetle shell has strange lifting effects when combined with the static electricity & resonance of the wings.

Did you think Hercules beetles could fly because they "flap really really hard" or something because you would be wrong. It's less aerodynamic and more static electric resonance of some exotic form. Few have studied it well enough but the science is there. Scarab beetles are another example.

I haven't really looked into it because it seems like something that would be hard to commercialize even if it did work.
