What part of the Blue Jay creates thrust?
The Blue Jay creates thrust using its primary flight feathers, which are located at the tips of its wings and help push the bird through the air when it flaps its wings. The shape and orientation of these feathers are important for generating lift and forward propulsion during flight.
How does the air around a birds wing cause lift?
The shape of a bird's wing, with a curved upper surface and flat lower surface, creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom. When the bird moves its wings through the air, a higher air pressure below the wing pushes the bird up due to the pressure difference and creates lift. This lift helps the bird to fly.
