The flight of a body mainly depends on its response to the atmospheric air, the shape of the body & the forces acting on the body i.e lift, drag, thrust & weight.
The two forces lift & drag are the ones primly influenced by the shape of the body and account to the aerodynamic nature of the body.
Every body produces certain amount of lift & drag but its only the measure of these forces affect the flight.
More lift helps the body to sustain flight ; less drag accounts for more aerodynamic nature of the body i.e, less lift/thrust is required to sustain the flight and viceversa .
What else can I help you with?
How many wings does one fly have?
A fly has two wings. These wings are used for flight and are typically located on either side of its body. In addition to the two wings, flies also have a pair of small structures called halteres, which help with balance during flight.
Are wings found in insects and chelicerates?
Yes, wings are found in insects, but not in chelicerates such as spiders and scorpions. Chelicerates have evolved a different body plan that does not include wings for flight.
Why do birds flap their wings in place?
Birds flap their wings in place to maintain balance, regulate body temperature, and strengthen their flight muscles.
How do moths keep their wings folded when not in flight?
Moths have special structures called "frenula" that help keep their wings folded when they are not flying. These tiny hooks on the wings attach to the body, keeping the wings in place.
How does the design of a paper airplane affect its fly?
it depend on what the wings are like and the body
What are 2 ways in which a birds body adapts for flight?
They have a Streamline shape, wings ,feathers and hollow bones.
Could penguins fly if they wanted to?
No. Penguin wings are adapted to water use. The wings are much too small to allow flight with the great mass of their body.
Are the dragonflies muscles in the wings or the wholebody?
Dragonflies primarily use muscles in their wings to control flight, particularly for flapping and maneuvering. They have a unique mechanism that allows them to flap their wings independently, which is facilitated by specialized muscles attached to the wing bases. However, their overall body muscles also play a role in stabilizing and directing their flight. Thus, while wing muscles are crucial for movement, the entire body contributes to flight control.
What are four adaptations birds have for flight?
strong wings, tail for balance and stability during flight, bones with air sacs so they have a low body weight, stremlined body shape and powerful chest muscles
Can you really inject yourself with avian DNA and get wings?
No. Injecting avian DNA into your body would not give you wings, nor should it affect your DNA.
How do bees fly with their little wings?
it is hard wired in to their brains, they need not learn how to do it. Same way you never learned to breath, you just do it.
How strong are bats wings?
Bats wings are surprisingly strong. They are able to support the bat's body weight during flight and allow for agile and precise maneuvers in the air. The wings are made up of thin, flexible bones covered with a thin membrane that can stretch and contract during flight.
