Secondo una leggenda metropolitana del XX secolo, le leggi dell'aerodinamica non permetterebbero al bombo di volare per il fatto che non avrebbe una sufficiente superficie alare ed una sufficiente frequenza di battito d'ali per sostenere il proprio peso. L'origine di tale credenza non è facile da rintracciare con certezza. John McMasters riportò un aneddoto riguardante un anonimo studioso svizzero di aerodinamica, il quale durante una festa eseguì alcuni calcoli approssimativi e concluse, presumibilmente scherzando, che tali equazioni dimostravano l'impossibilità di volare da parte del bombo.
