Powered flight is flight (travel through the air) achieved using onboard power to generate propulsive thrust and/or lift. Birds and insects use wings, in a variety of ways, to achieve powered flight. Man has developed several forms of powered aircraft. The term powered flight is also sometimes used excluding the natural world - e.g. "'The era of powered flight was opened by the Wright brothers.".
