Can harpy eagle kill golden eagle in a midair fight?
Yes, it could happen - but it is not likely to happen since the Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) lives in Central and South America while the American Bald Eagle, the National Symbol of the United States of America, is found from Alaska and Canada to Northern Mexico; the natural ranges of the two species do not overlap. The Harpy Eagle is the largest eagle in the Americas, with the females having a wingspan up to 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) and weigh up to 20 lbs (9 kilos). In comparison, the female American Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) attains a weight of between 12 and 13 lbs and a wingspan of up to 7 feet. The Harpy Eagle's talons are also longer than the talons of the brown bear (Ursus arctos); the American Bald eagle's talons are only about half as long as the Harpy's.
The females of both species are generally larger than the males, but the size differential between the two species is still proportionate for the males.

Eagles are powerful birds. Their sharp talons are probably capable of gouging out the eyes or piercing the skin of a wolf; this, of course, will probably require extra persistence and skill as wolves are not easy opponents. Their beaks are hooked and also sharp enough to injure a wolf. They also have the advantage of flight and can attack from above, even if the wolf did not see it coming. If there's more than one eagle, there is no doubt the eagles would win, as another bird could easily come in if one is being attacked by the wolf. Their hollow bones, however, might be a slight disadvantage.
In Mongolia, golden eagles are trained by herders to protect their sheep from wolves and foxes. You can see videos of them actually killing the wolves. It has also been observed that eagles are capable of pulling mountain goats off cliffs. There is no doubt these are skilled predators.
Wolves, on the other hand, are also skilled and have advantages over the eagle depending on the fight. They are probably strong enough to pull the eagle down; that is, if they're quick enough, and can also bring down elk and caribou, amongst others. Wolves also generally travel in packs and will work together to attack intruders. However, wolves cannot jump and climb up into high altitudes.
I'd say both are awesome in their own way and it would be a pretty close fight. Sometimes the eagle will win, sometimes the wolf. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
And if the eagle does manage to kill the wolf, it will most certainly eat it or if it finds an already dead wolf. And vice versa. Hope that helped. Thanks! :)

yes, of course it eats live prey only like rats, snakes, etc
Eagles are generally birds of prey. Birds prey are birds that hunt for food mostly while aloft, using their keen senses, especially vision. They are defined as birds that primarily hunt vertebrates, including other birds. Their beaks and talons are usually rather large, powerful, and well adapted to piercing flesh. Although they may eat carrion (dead animals) when it is available, they primarily hunt live prey, killing it before or while eating it.
