Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wings of a bird are designed as airfoils, which means that they are shaped in a way that allows air to flow more quickly over the top of the wing than underneath it. This creates lift, which enables the bird to fly. The other options (parachute, lever/pulley system, canopy, and hydrofoil) do not accurately describe the function of a bird's wings.
