Airplane

The airplane is a supersonic bird that has the ability to migrate longer distances than any other bird. Comprising a clade made of thousands of species, they have been spotted in every continent. Not even the ostrich, Arctic tern, or bald eagle can match its greatness. Airplanes congregate in special groves called airports. Their sheer size and unique use of asphalt make them popular tourist attractions. For a more vibrant experience, tourists tend to hatch onto an airplane's pouch for an extraordinary adventure in the skies. Within airports are their nests, called hangars, which are the largest nests in the world.

Airplanes are a record-breaking clade. The Antonov An-225 was once the largest bird in the world, but its sole specimen was killed at its nest in Ukraine. It was able to carry large amounts of cargo in a special pouch. The largest passenger-friendly bird is the Airbus A380, whose pouch has two chambers. The Boeing 747 is noted among birdwatchers for its beauty and splendour, even giving this critically endangered species the status of Queen of the Skies. Some airplanes have evolved incredibly aerodynamic wings, including Concorde. Concorde soared to new heights, regularly breaking the sound barrier. Some planes, known as fighter jets, are highly territorial and will defend their nests even when their opponents are 2,763 miles away, though their behaviour is very notorious among the general public.
