Worse you want a long distance flyer which means the wings need to be long and thin. You are not getting anything that takes up less space than a Cessna while landing. 8.5 meters is how big the wings would have to be on a human that just had to lift itself. | |
| Oct 18, 2020 at 10:58 | comment | added | Kubsterrb17 | Yeah that's why I added the part about stronger,denser wing muscles, which don't weigh as much as they should. I don't want it to be so gigantic, because it creates many problems: you would need a gigantic barn to keep one locked, and special landing zones in cities. I thought that with being only as tall as horse (about 2m) but being 4m long and with wingspan 8,5m it would suffice. But maybe I am wrong. Could you propose measurements which wouldn't be gigantic, but would be more probable? I don't care if it's heavier, as long as it's not 11m tall, and 10m wide. xd | |
