Re: Wing Span of a Human?

Here's something to think about: The wings don't have to extend upward from the back, like (X-men) Angel's wings; they could extend downward, have a joint at about knee-level, then up to a joint at or above the head, and down again. (Like having your biceps down, your forearms up, and your hands and fingers down. No comments from the Python fans! Or, think Pterodactyl.)

Presto: Wings that can span about 5 meters each, or 10 meters total span, comparable to hang-glider size, and you can still get through the door.
