Does this have to work on Earth? If you can either increase the air pressure or decrease gravity, say to about luna levels, or preferably both (better put in a lot of heavy, neutral filler gas like neon, and you're still going to have problems woith the escape velocity of your oxygen molecules unless it's very cold) you can get thelift with less surface area.
And if you use membranous wings, rather than feathered, you can have a couple of extra joints in the bone structure supporting them to fold them up tighter. |
