Birds with longer wings generally have an advantage in soaring and gliding, which allows them to cover greater distances with less energy, but they may not always be faster in flapping flight. Shorter wings can provide greater maneuverability and faster flapping speeds, which can be advantageous in certain environments. Ultimately, the relationship between wing length and flight speed depends on the bird species, its flying style, and the specific conditions in which it is flying.

Why do small birds fly faster than bib birds?
The wings maybe? Their wingspans are different I guess... :) The wings maybe? Their wingspans are different I guess... :) THEY DON'T THEY JUST LOOK LIKE THEY DO BECAUSE THEY NEED TO FLAP FASTER !
How do birds fly when gravitational pull is pulling them down?
Gravitation pulls everything down (people, rocks, birds, planes..) It takes a force to counter the pull of gravity; in birds' case, it's lift from the birds wing. As air flows past the wing the fact that the length of chord of the upper wing is slightly longer then the length of the chord of the bottom of the wing - this induces a difference in flow speed and creates a slight upward force called lift. The faster a bird goes, the higher the lift (to a limit.) The longer the wing, the more lift is generated - this is why bird with very long wingspans can travel long distances and go very high compared to birds with shorter wings.*If a bird's wing cannot generate enough lift, the bird will fall to the ground: they must overcome the pull of gravity. * Note - high speeds are counter to large wings, hawks have shorter and swept vs broad wings on Eagles. The Eagles can go higher and longer, but the Hawks can go faster for short periods of time.
How much longer are a birds wings in proportion to their body length?
It depends on the species of bird
How do you tell if a lady beetle is a girl or a boy?
u look at her\his wings and see if 1 is longer. if the 1 has longer wings means that is a female and the shorter winged one is a male. what school are u from?
Why does the spinner with longer wings take longer to fall?
The spinner with longer wings has a greater surface area, which increases air resistance and slows down its fall. This air resistance counteracts the force of gravity acting on the spinner, causing it to descend more slowly than one with shorter wings.
How do bats fly so long?
Because of their wings that makes them fly longer than other birds
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.
Why do taller people have longer wingspans than shorter people?
This means that the distance of your spread wings is longer than you are tall.
How does the length of the wings change the drop time?
The length of the wings affects the drop time of an object by influencing its air resistance and drag. Longer wings increase the surface area, which can enhance lift and slow down the descent due to greater air resistance. Consequently, an object with longer wings typically takes longer to reach the ground compared to one with shorter wings. However, this effect can vary based on the object's weight and shape.
Why the speed of rotocopter increase when we cut it wings shorer?
When the wings of a rotorcraft are made shorter, the rotational inertia of the rotor system decreases. This reduction in inertia allows the rotor to accelerate more quickly, resulting in an increase in rotational speed. Shorter wings also reduce drag and increase the rotorcraft's overall efficiency, contributing to a faster speed.
