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 much wind does a jet engine produce?
Enough to propel the aircraft very fast through the air.
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.
How does an airgun work?
Air is used to propel the projectile.
What propels air planes?
The engines propel the airplanes.
What did the wrights brothers use to propel their plane through the air?
They use the elevator and the elevator chain and cogs . The wright brothers use the elevator control lever to keep its balance in the air.
What is the deffanition of air resistance?
Air resistance is air itself slowing down an object travelling through it.
What is used to propel bullets from guns?

How do airsoft guns shoot?

What is an air riffle?
