Research suggests that flies can stay in the air for about one to two miles without rest. The average speed of a fly is about five miles per hour.
Birds can hover in place for short periods of time, but they typically need to move forward to stay airborne due to the way their wings generate lift.

Several hours depending on the speed of the aircraft, the altitude and its weight.
No... planes stay airborne because the air flowing on the underside of the wing is moving faster than the air flowing over the top of the wing. Without air movements - the plane cannot fly.
No, a wingsuit cannot fly as long and as far as a plane. While a wingsuit can glide for several minutes and cover several miles, it ultimately lacks the power and sustained flight capabilities of an airplane. Planes are designed for long-distance travel and can stay airborne for hours or even days depending on the fuel capacity.

Mercury emitted from burning coal can stay airborne for days to weeks, depending on various factors such as weather conditions, altitude, and location. It can travel long distances before eventually settling to the ground or water bodies, where it can accumulate in the environment.
No, AIDS is not communicable through airborne transmission.
The more aerodynamic it is, the more air underneath the wings, the longer it will stay aloft. The longer it is airborne, the better chances it will fly further.
Penguins can not fly. But they are very good at moving in the water.
Butterflies flutter and fly gracefully in the air due to their lightweight bodies, large wings, and unique wing structure. The flapping motion of their wings creates lift, allowing them to stay airborne and maneuver with agility.
Yes, there is a limit to the size of an animal that is too big to fly. This is because as an animal gets larger, its body weight increases, making it harder for them to generate enough lift to stay airborne. This is why very large animals, like elephants, are unable to fly.
