'''Wings''' are appendages present in birds or insects whose primary purpose is to allow [[flight]].  Through quick flapping of the wings, it is possible to move through the air.  Some creatures require constant flapping while others, such as eagles, can [[soar]].  There are some birds with wings such as [[ostrich]]es or [[emu]]s that are unable to fly.

Modern technology has created wings on [[airplane]]s to allow for motorized flight.  For these vehicles, there is no flapping.  While wings are not the mechanisms that allow flight to occur, they are important for stabalization.

Wing can also mean something that extends from a central position.  For example, the wing of a building (such as east wing or west wing) extends out from the main sectin of the building.  The abstract terms [[left wing]] and [[right wing]] refer to opposing [[political]] beliefs.
