Rolls-Royce, the aero-engine company better known for powering the likes of a Boeing 747, has turned its attention to a very different form of propulsion: that of the tuna fish.

Tuna fish are thought particularly interesting because they have a remarkable ability to swim at high speeds and accelerate quickly with low use of energy. ( Telegraph )
