7. Question
Birds get thrust (forward motion) and lift (upward motion) from the
CorrectFlapping of wings
How do you get the air to move over a wing?
Getting the air to move over and under the wing also requires the wing to be moving. This is called thrust. Thrust is created when birds flap their wings using their strong breast muscles. Planes use another method for thrust. They use engines. These can be either propeller or jet engines. With both birds and planes, thrust is the other part of creating lift and the ability to fly. So the shape of the wing and the ability to move it through the air are the two things needed for bird and plane flight.
Birds use their strong breast muscles to flap their wings and give them the thrust to move throught the air and fly. In a way, birds use a swimming motion to get the lift needed to fly. Plane wings have a similar shape as birds, but instead of flapping their wings, they use engines to thrust them into the air and create the lift needed to fly.
