A bird's wing is shape like an airfoil. (See the related link Diagram of an airfoil below.) The airfoil is curved more on top, so the air flowing over the top of the airfoil moves faster that the air underneath. This creates more pressure underneath the wing, pushing up and generating a force called lift. This force keeps the birds in the air. (This is also how the wings of an airplane work.)

How does airplane designers been influenced by the study of birds?
Airplane designers have been influenced by the study of birds through examining the different qualities of their wings. The strong bones of the birds that are very light help determine the necessary weight restrictions and alloys used in wings. The shape of the wings of birds shows them how to shape airplane wings for maximum lift.
Are birds wings flat for increasing lift?
If they were flat they would generate no lift and birds could not fly. Aeroplane wings are very similar in shape to bird wings - they are nearly flat underneath and convex on top.
What bird has no wings or legs?
All birds have wings: even flightless birds have wings, though they may be useless for flight. All birds also have legs.
What are 2 ways in which a birds body adapts for flight?
They have a Streamline shape, wings ,feathers and hollow bones.
How do wings hold birds in the air?
The wings of a bird help the bird float on air currents. That's why a bird doesn't have to flap the whole time. It can float or soar.
Which feather is important for flight?
The large one on a birds wings; they produce lift.
Do takahe have wings?
Yes. Takahe are birds, and all birds have wings. Even flightless birds have wings, though they are of little or no use.
Do birds have lungs in their wings?
No, birds have lungs in their chest cavity not their wings.
With how many wings do birds fly?
Two, all birds have two wings.
How do birds and bats create effective wings?
Birds have streamlined wings that create lift and reduce drag, allowing them to efficiently glide and soar through the air. Bats have flexible wings with multiple joints that can change shape and surface area, providing maneuverability and agility in flight. Both adaptations help birds and bats generate lift and thrust to fly effectively.
How do birds' wings work to enable them to fly?
Birds' wings work by creating lift and thrust. The shape of the wing and the way air flows over and under it generate lift, allowing the bird to stay airborne. The flapping motion of the wings also creates thrust, propelling the bird forward. This combination of lift and thrust enables birds to fly.
How birds get thrust?
they flap wings
