Why Don't Jumbo Jets Flap Their Wings?: Flying Animals, Flying Machines, and How They Are Different
Airplanes have separate parts for lift (the wings), and for thrust (the propeller or a jet engine). For a flying animal (there have been four taxons: insects, pterosaurs, birds and bats) a jet engine is too hot, and a propeller is a kind of a wheel, which never evolved in animals: how would you supply it with blood? So birds and bats must use their wings for both, and the much bigger airplanes don't have to.
