well you airhead... it usues it's wings for lift and thrust and all that crap and stearing, it can stop flaping for glide keep flaping for lift and speed, its tail helps with the stearing.

How does a dragon fly?

A dragon flies almost like a bat or bird flies. they have mustles, bones, and flaps of skin on their wings to propel them trough the air. some dragons have feathers (that makes them fly exactly like a bird). They use their tails and heads as rudders to help them turn with pin-point acuracy. most Earth, Nature, and Water dragons can't fly or don't have wings.

Why wouldn't a wing modeled on a birds wing work for an airplane?

For one thing, bird's wings use feathers (and having gigantic metal feathers on a plane is NOT economically viable). Also, a bird's wing must be in constant motion, whereas a plane's wing is fixed and moves along with the plane. But all plane wings are modeled on birds. (DrStrong) In fact, early airplane wings were modeled on bird wings. The Wright Brothers among other early aviation pioneers designed wings to have the same kind of shape and curvature as bird wings -- thin and cambered. You can see this design in the Wright Flyer. That's not all. The Wright Bros also noticed that birds twist their wings into order to roll to the right or left. For roll control in their successful 1903 Wright Flyer they implemented a similar scheme where the wings could be twisted by turning a yoke. This worked, but ultimately the use of control surfaces (ailerons) proved more effective.


Which rocket with wing flies the best 2 wings 3 wings or 4 wings?

Two wings would present some stability problems. Four wings would probably give you the most flight control but the extra wing will cause some excess drag that will use fuel more quickly. So...I would probably go with three for maximum control and fuel savings.
