According to Nicki Minaj, starships were meant to fly. That is actually somewhat inaccurate. Flying is more moving through an atmosphere at a speed somewhere below escape velocity, usually involving wings and some element of the Bernoulli Principle. Starships really don’t do much, if any, actual flying. Actually, what they do could more accurately be described as falling through space, especially if they are in orbit around a strong source of gravity
