By creating negative air pressure in front of them and increasing the pressure behind them, naturally the bird can fly. Its just how an airplane works just at a different angle. Are people this fucking stupid? Lemme guess you think helicopters fly because they "push" themselves? LOL NO the suck themselves forwards. The use ground effect to hover smoothly but they can hover at almost any altitude below 10,000 feet Wow |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1417312 United States 07/26/2011 01:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Imagine how you swim through a pool. Before you start the act of swimming, the water is motionless, but as you move your arms and legs through it, you displace the water around you, producing forward momentum. Thats what a bird experiences. All around the bird is "air" compressed at 14psi. When the bird flaps its wings, it displaces the air around it, producing forward momentum. |
