What about the Pterodactyl? they were able to fly and they were even heavier than your average human. Wouldn't we be able to look into the fossils of these prehistoric birds and figure out a correct ratio of mass to wingspan? And from there couldn't we create some form of bionic wings using carbon nano tubes that might suffice as a possible prototype? I'd be willing to be the one that tries them. And one more thing does anyone know any formulas that can help determine taper and lift? I’d like to look into building bionic wings to see if it’s possible with the developing technology in Biotechnology. I know it’s an idea for a time extremely far in the future but it wouldn’t hurt, would it? ...You’d need a team of physicist, biotechnicians, biologists, engineers, and people who are willing to help with the construction of such an anomaly; however the people who help with the construction would have to know a lot about carbon nano-tubes, so probably more biotechnicians than anything. Oh and you’d have to have an adequate supply of carbon nano-tubes. And correct me if I’m wrong aren’t carbon nano-tubes extremely light but ten times stronger than steel?
