| A Laughing Gull with its wings extended in a gull wing profile. A wing is a surface used to produce lift and therefore flight, for travel in the air. The wing shape is usually an airfoil. The first use of the word was for the foremost limbs of birds, but has been extended to include the wings of insects, bats and pterosaurs and also man-made devices. |
