If you were six feet tall you would need a wingspan of 25 ft. And you would need hollow lighter bones with plenty of air sacs so you weight needs to by about 70 lbs. Then it might work. Oh and need that horizontal stabilizer too you are missing. And don’t forget that breast bone to connect those powerful muscles to you would need to maintain flight. Happy suicide to you!

Gravity. It’s not just a good idea…It’s the law.

Got my doubts about lift…

Close. They are aware of the four vectors of flying: lift, gravity, thrust and drag. Now the trick is to figure out the details.

Yup, always something. But gravity is more than just any old something.

Reminds me of the “Bonanza” episode where Hoss Cartwright tries out a man-made set of wings.

Gravity worked fine, but what happened to Perspective?

I guess he missed the Physics class the day they mentioned gravity.

Need to wait for the invention of plastic.

Reminds me of the old rotor-head saying, “Helicopters don’t fly; they beat the air into submission.”

Anything can fly if you put enough thrust behind it.
Where it lands and how are another issue entirely.
