How do flies fly?
I was just helping my 8 year old sister do her home work on how flies fly. I can’t seam to find decent information that she will understand. So, far we have just got that there wings flap 200 times. Please help! It is in for tomorrow! Thanks in advance!
*200 times a second!
Ty for the answers! I have chosen best answer and asap I will submit them as best answer!
Fly’s have very little body weight. If you will notice the size of their wings are often just as long and wide as their body. Using those wings, they flap them 200/second, forcing air downwards at a rapid rate, causing them to lift into the air much like a helicopter.
It is all about lift
