How are a plane's wing and a bird's wing alike?

Answer 1

Wings of airplanes and birds have a lot of general similiarities. They have an airfoil shape that allows them to generate lift. They have a main structural member that supports the wing; this is the spar on an airplane and the bones on a bird. Both also can flex under the air loads that allows them to bend a small amount.

The difference is that a Bird's wing changes shape as it flys. The bird can make his wing span longer or shorter. He can twist his wings or lay them flat. This is not the same as bending. Instead the bird is moving the wings to create the Center of Lift as he needs. A Bird's wing can also flap, which classifies it as an Ornothopter.

Yes, I'm agree that wings of airplanes and birds have a lot of similarities

. First, they use air to fly. Their wings have streamline shape or it also called 'aerodynamic'. Both of them have leading edge and trailing edge. The most important thing is, they take advantage of Bernoulli's Principle(creates difference of air pressure)

Answer 2

They both fly of course, but they both require a certain velocity or speed to be in the air. It requires more speed for an airplane more than a bird.

Answer 3

Theythere wings are both airflows, a birds head acts like a rudder in flight and they both need fuel to keep flying.

Answer 4

Both have wings and both can fly.

Answer 5

Because they are both use for flying.

Answer 6

wings
