Flight
Flight is the process of flying: movement through the air by aerodynamically generating lift or aerostatically[?] using buoyancy, and movement of spacecraft.
Animal flight
There are currently no other flying animals than insects, birds, and bats, and not all of them can fly. Each of these group's wings evolved separately from different structures. Pterosaurs are an extinct group of flying vertebrates contemporaneous with the dinosaurs.The largest birds, the ostrich and the emu, can not fly, nor can for example the penguin.
Among flying animals, the wandering albatross has the greatest wingspan, up to 3.5 metres (11.5 feet), and the trumpeter swan perhaps the greatest weight, 17 kilograms (38 pounds).
Fictional: Dumbo, the flying elephant.
Mechanical flight
Flying machines are aircraft, including aeroplanes, helicopters, airships and balloons, and spacecraft.
In the case of an aeroplane it involves
The same applies for other flying machines and flying animals, except for the taxiing.
