QUESTION:

Why doesn’t a hummingbird soar like an eagle and an eagle flap its wings like a hummingbird?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

The wings size of a hummingbird is smaller than the wing size of an eagle, so hummingbirds can flap their wings very rapidly because small rotational inertia allows rapid flapping, whereas, in large wings of the eagle, it is not possible.
