'''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 stabilization.
