Khuru, Nature, and the Physics of Flight.

In this episode of The Royal Academy Learning Experiences, we explore Bhutan’s indigenous sport, Khuru, to understand projectile motion. From ancient games to volcanoes, eagles, and archerfish, humans have long learned from nature to project objects. We trace the history of projectiles, the math behind them, and how these principles even helped launch Bhutan-1 into orbit. Along the way, we see how aerodynamics shaped by air and water in nature.
