Do planes look like birds

It's all a matter of opinion. I would say they have some similar qualities, although last time I checked birds don't have engines :P

Anyway, like I said, it's about opinion. Some people will say birds look exactly like planes, others will say they look nothing like birds.

Birds do have wings like planes do, and a back flip/tail, like planes do. They also share the same front base, as a bird has their head in front, and the plane has the cockpit.

In fact, some planes are actually modeled after birds.

"New research suggests that a bird-shaped airplane - with angled wings and a fatter body - would make the modern plane more fuel efficient. I spoke recently with Geoffrey Spedding, an engineer at the University of Southern California, about this discovery - and how it could change the way we fly."
