Well, obviously, most flying birds are able to generate at least as much thrust as is their body weight. But most birds are unable to take off in vertical flight - so that modest thrust is about the limit for most birds. Indeed, few birds can manage vertical flight with a sustained ascent.
In New Zealand, we have a native pigeon, Kereru, which loves a matai berry - about the size of an acorn. These they eat in sufficient quantity such that they cannot even maintain level flight!
What else can I help you with?
Why did the Wright brothers achieve in flight?
I can tell you HOW: they used the forces of flight; lift, thrust, drag, and gravity That's pretty much WHY they achieved flight
What is thrust capacity?
Thrust Capacity is how much thrust it can take :D
What is down feathers?
small feathers that cover the body of a bird and are not used so much for flight.
How does planes flies?
The airplane is flown by the shape it is in and how much weight, drag and thrust there is. The wind travels over and under the plane to main tain flight.
How much heat does a jet engine produce?
A jet engine can produce heat in the range of 1,600 to 2,000 degrees Celsius (2,900 to 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit) during operation. This intense heat is necessary for the engine to efficiently combust fuel and create the thrust needed for flight.
Does feathers keep bird warm?
Yes, very much so. Feathers come in three general varieties: 1. Flight feathers, 2. Plumage or ornamental feathers, 3. Down The feathers underneath the flight feathers keep the bird warm.
How much weight can a bird carry in flight?
Birds can typically carry up to half of their body weight while flying.
How much thrust does an airplane give?
The amount of thrust depends on the power of the engine
How much thrust does it take to fly a plane?
The amount of thrust required to fly a plane depends on various factors, including the aircraft's weight, design, and the specific flight conditions. Generally, the thrust must be sufficient to overcome drag and lift the aircraft off the ground, which varies significantly between different aircraft types. For example, a small general aviation plane might require around 100-200 horsepower, while large commercial jets can require tens of thousands of pounds of thrust from multiple engines to achieve takeoff. Ultimately, thrust needs to match or exceed the weight of the aircraft for takeoff and to maintain flight.
How is thrust different from force?
there is not much difference between thrust anf force...its just that thrust is the force acting perpendiclular to the surface thrust will always be either equal or greater than force.
How do feathers help birds fly?
The flight feathers are the feathers located on the wings and tail. There are primary flight feathers that on the bird would be equivalent to our hand. A bird also has secondary flight feathers which when comparing to a human would be our forearm. If you unfold the wing of a bird you will see the flight feathers.
How does a blue bird breath?
They breathe pretty much the same way humans do: through their nose from which the oxygen travels to the lungs where it is removed from the other gases in the air breathed in. Then the other unusable gases are expeled through their nose or mouth.
