winglike
Shaped for flight
Winglike describes something resembling a wing in shape or position—a flat extension projecting from a central body: winglike fins on the rocket, the winglike sleeves of her gown.
The term applies to anything suggesting the form of a bird's or insect's wing without actually being one.
