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?
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.
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.
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
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.
Can you describe the behavior of a bird flapping its wings without taking flight?
When a bird flaps its wings without taking flight, it typically does so to maintain balance, regulate body temperature, or communicate with other birds. The movement is rhythmic and can vary in speed and intensity depending on the bird's needs.
Why are there differences in structure between bird and insects wings?
Bird wings are structurally adapted for powered flight, with a primary feather structure that allows for control and lift during flight. Insect wings are membranous and foldable, enabling diverse flight maneuvers and aerodynamics specific to their body size and mobility needs. These differences reflect the evolutionary adaptations that have optimized each species' flight capabilities.
