Airplanes are fascinating machines that have revolutionized the way we travel. Let's break down the riddle to understand why the airplane fits this description perfectly.

Wingless Flight

"I have no wings, yet I can fly high" captures the essence of an airplane's flight capability. While airplanes do have wings, they differ significantly from the wings of birds or insects. The fixed wings of an airplane, combined with powerful engines, allow it to soar high in the sky, reaching altitudes that natural wings cannot.

Legless Speed

"I have no legs, yet I can run fast" highlights the airplane's ability to travel quickly without traditional means of movement like legs or wheels. Airplanes glide through the air at high speeds, covering vast distances in a fraction of the time it would take other modes of transport.

  1. I took an airplane to visit another country.
    我乘坐飞机去另一个国家。
    wǒ chéng zuò fēi jī qù lìng yī gè guó jiā.
  2. Airplanes fly high above the clouds.
