Wings

[Lancecastor]

How much wing span would be required to enable a 225lb woman to achieve sustained flight?

 

[Super-Surprise]

Apparently a whole lot more brain matter than you possess.

That depends. How much spittle and froth can you manufacture, lace?

 

[HisArpy]

There are too many variables missing. Weight alone means nothing to lift.

Speed of airflow, angle of attack, shape of the airfoil, drag coefficient, etc. are all necessary requirements to determine lift.

And what size napkin she uses.

I didn't mean that kind of drag.

 

[phrodeau]

I figured that's where the wings are.

How romantical.

Lance is truly smitten.



I got wings on my heart
I got love in my mind
And I'm gettin' ready for a brand new day
I got wings on my heart
I got love in my mind
and I feel a change will come my way




My heart wants roots.
My mind wants wings.
I cannot bear their bickerings.

Then it'll be goodnight Lit, thanks for the blooms.

So I drop by this cesspool and and think wow, I love wings. A decent thread on the first page. What a surprise.

But no. Of course not. Oh well... silly me.

Define 'sustained'. The answer may be less than you envisioned.

I think the Andean condor (maximum wingspan 10 fee 10 inches, max weight 15 kilograms) pretty much defines the upper limit for a flying animal. Because of the cube-square law and various anatomical reasons, a flying animal the weight of an adult human would be impossible.

A cesspool soiled by 2 generations of your family.

I don't know Wings, I don't care about anyone's weight and I like her pretty face.

There must be a lot of people who feel that way, or the fat body type would be bred out of the population.

 

[Ms_Ann]

An Airbus380 can lift off at just over 716 tons...and that's not wearing any makeup.

But only stupid ones.

So many variables!

Let's assume a low attack angle.

 

[Lancecastor]

Hey...speaking of Wings...should she be tried in LitCourt for impersonating a young, semifit woman?

 

[hashtag34]

She Is still young.
She's in her early to mid- thirties, from what I gather.

She is perhaps the GB's Biggest Liar.

Behind bert and babu, maybe.

May I ask something?
And I don't intend it in any way as picking on Wings or taking sides. It's just something that I've always been curious about.

Wings mentioned several times that she's not white , but she looks undoubtly white to me.
What ethnicity is she?

I wanted to ask her but it's awkward since we don't get along.
