Male hummingbirds can beat their wings up to 200 times per second! It doesn't seem possible but it is. This species rotates their wings in a sideways figure 8 motion, this increaces their flight speed of 60 mph. Their wingspand is another secret to their flight speed.

How is air resistance is force?

It requires a force to propel an object through air, because of the air resistance. Normally, if there were no air resistance and the object were being propelled on the level with no friction, a constant force would accelerate the object steadily. However, it would require a steady force to propel the object through air even without acceleration. And the faster it went the more resistance it would meet.
