If humans could have wings would you get them ?
Mine would fold neatly to my back when I wouldn't need them. They'd be shiny, silky, and silvery, not feathery and cumbersome. It would be so cool to be able to fly. And when people would be like, "It's not Halloween!" I'd just flap my powerful wings, lift of, and hover and say, "No, it's National Fairy Tale day!" And soar off.
If humans had wings, would they fly?
God said that the reason why he went down the confound the one language which human beings all spoke at the tower of babel was because "this they being to do and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do" so he caused them to speak different languages so they could not understand one another and had to break off into small groups and meander off from one another, and then he broke the land mass up into various continents, spreading human beings to different lands in order to slow down their ability to progress together. (genesis 10:25 and genesis 11:6-9) so God knew that since man possessed within him all the knowledge of both good and evil which mankind gained from adam and eve having eaten from the tree of knowledge which God told them not to eat, there was nothing mankind could not imagine to do. after the flood, the people who had come from the family of noah to replenish the earth had built a city and a very tall tower when God went there to scatter them and slow down their progress. now, man has progressed to be able to fly, to go into outer space, to discover many things which have caused mankind to progress in good ways and bad way....all because of having eaten from the tree of knowledge. God is okay with all of it because it is part of how we are moving forward toward the end of times when Jesus is going to return to rule the earth. think of it like this....you use your computer. you would not have the ability to do so if man had not discovered how to fly because there would be no space station and satalites in outerspace making it possible to communicate via the internet. so, what's the dif between using that technology and the technology for an airplane to move you from one place to another? it is all part of the end time plan, so go ahead and get on that plane.
First off, we would freak out.OK, with that over with, let’s talk aerodynamics. We will have a hard time steering unless we also have tails. Easiest solution? Synthetic tails attached to our legs. We would also wear goggles and jackets a lot, because of the wind you get when flying. In addition, our clothing would be made with button-up/zippered/tied slits for our wings. Rather than having absolutely gobsmackingly vast wings, I’ll assume our bones are structured to be hollower than they are now, and therefore lighter. Even with that, though, we’ll have large wings, so doors, etc. would be made with that in consideration.With the problems over with, let’s talk about advantages. First off - we’ll still have planes for the same reason we have buses - convenience. Also, games like paintball would be so much more awesome. We would come up with cooler sports. We could play quidditch - a programmed drone will act as the snitch. We would have flight classes where you learn to improve your maneuverability. Martial arts would make use of these new appendages.Too bad I have Myotonia Congenita and thus my wings will get stiff and make it hard to fly. Be grateful you (probably) don’t have that problem.
The muscular body mass of a very fit human is approximately 40%. This corresponds to the chest muscles of a flying bird.Humans do not have the musculature to enable them to fly.IF the chest muscles increased to equal the total body mass proportion of a bird. (With a commensurate increase in the size of the sternum, so that it resembled a birds keel.)IF the leg muscles, including Gluteus maximus, the largest human human muscle, decreased in size so that our legs resembled those of birds.IF the lungs and heart increased their capacity to supply the muscles with oxygen while carrying out the vigorous exercise required for flight.IF our bones became lighter, along with the rest of our body.If our digestive and excretory systems adapted to remove poo and urine in a different form to save weight. How many 80 kg birds/bats/insects are there?Then we could still not fly due to the limited wingspan provided by our arms.
How big would a human's wings have to be to fly?
first of all. Im gonna use metric system and kilograms for it is easier to me, i will try adding some imperial system units when i find convenient. First of all, im going to measure the wing area, and try to use some examples of how our wings should look like. Our wings would probably be like those of a bat, as we are mammals. I would chose that aswell because they would need to be huge, and the wing s skeleton would be very helpful, plus, the farther the air we will push to fly is, the easier it becomes. Also, i will actually let you choose your own wing size, although that woul affect the number of flaps per second you d need to actually get out of the ground. to calculate that we would use the mass of air (1.225 kg/m3) (0.0765 lbm/ft^3) Imagining a human weights about 70 kg total, counting wings and everything else, also the wings are attached to our back muscles, that means they are each about 10 centimeters away from our gravity center, and they flap out the air at an average of 50 cm away from our body. They would need to move a total of 14 kilos of air per second to compensate our weight. for that, they need to move about 11,43 cubic meters of air. So at least 5,715 m^2 of wing area EACH WING. Also, that is only if we can flap both wings exactly one time per second. Based on our size, i d say we would only be able to flap about once every three second without fatigating too much. For a once every three seconds flap, our wings would need to have an area of 17,15 m^2. That is a lot. And worse, it wouldn t even lift us, that size would only prevent us from falling (i am also disconsidering the air we send upwards when we would open our wings again so we can cycle another flap) Now for a more realistic wing size, i would say that they would need a very large and strong pair of wings, with about 9 m^2 area each. flap distance of an average of a 2 m and flap height of about 2,5 meters. to have a decent flight speed. We would not be the fastest flying animals out there, but with our size and mass we would probably be the gods of gliding and raptoring, able to carry up to about 26 kilograms around with us. So my anwer to wingspan is about 5 meters long each, ending up with 10,2 meters wingspan
Could humans ever have wings?
Oh that would be so cool! But i don't think so. It would be disrespectful for a human to have wings because you would have to like make them on the human before they were able to comprhend the situation and the little kid may not want wings. I wish I had wings though that would be awesome. You could be just like Max and Fang.
Why Cant Humans Have Wings?
Humans cannot grow wings. And we cannot have wings surgically attached to our bodies. There are several reasons why. 1.Humans are just too big! The wing size required for a human to fly would be larger than a hanglider, and have a surface area of at least 20 feet. 2.Flight requires more than just wings. Humans do not have the bones, or the lungs for flight. They also do not have the pectoral muscles to power a pair of wings. 3.IF you found a big enough wing, and somehow change the person's lungs and bones, you still could not surgically attatch it. The wings would have to be attached near your center of gravity to allow for flight, that would be your waist or midsection. And there are no bones there to attatch wings to. The wings would also have to be attached by the muscles, the nerve endings, veins for blood flow, etc. and even if all went according to plan...since we do not share blood type, or even some DNA with birds, the wings would be rejected. http://www.trcb.com/education/nature/why...
If humans could have wings and fly - would you like to?
No. Wings are an adaptation of a creature's forelimbs - in birds, obviously, and mammals, as with bats. Insects are the exception but I'm not going to address them because we're not insects. Basically wings would be whaat was once our arms. I like having hands too much to want wings. Flight would be cool, and all, but not at the price of dexterity.
Like bats, of course. Bats are mammals like us, and they have wings. They don’t have arms as well, just the wings, and they use parts of their wings as claws etc to make up for the lack of actual arms. Usually people imagine humans with wings as simply having wings sprouting from the shoulder blades and the arms and everything else still there. I doubt if that would ever work structurally. Getting the joints strong enough and properly attached and supporting a heavy arms as well, not likely. Our legs (which are really good for running) would be too heavy as well. They would have to get a lot smaller.Flying is really quite hard for bats, they have special mechanisms to boost their oxygen intake so they can keep up their energy, we’d have to replicate that too.So, yes, we’d look a lot like bats. Possibly we wouldn’t need the hanging upside down habit, and the echolocation is mainly for night work and not all bats fly at night. I suspect we would find it useful to hang upside down though.
We can’t evolve wings, but not because we have “no reason” to do so.Wings evolve because the structures that will become wings start down that path and provide a selective advantage. No evolutionary onset is aware of a future “need.”The only genetic opening we have for the establishment of wings is the arms. There is nothing in the shoulders or shoulder blades that could undergo small modifications to eventuate in wings. There’s nothing there at all.But even if someone gets a mutation that webs the hands and arms like bat wings, that would not be nearly enough to lift the body.In addition, the kind of wings that birds have require huge muscles attached to the keel (breastbone). These muscles are the “turkey breast” part of a turkey. So the angels as depicted in art would need a keel about 8 feet long sticking out from the torso to serve as the attachment for the muscles needed. So all those images of angels are anatomically incorrect — in more ways than one — not to mention imaginary!In short, the answer is no — we can never evolve working wings, either bird-type wings or mammal-type wings (like bats.) We don’t have the precursor anatomy any more.In any case, it is the forelimbs which were modified by birds and bats into wings, so these would replace our arms if it were possible (which it is not.)I suppose we could artificially implant genetically-modified tissue in the shoulder blades and let it grow into swan-type wings to simulate the wings of angels, but they would not be working models (not enough keel, among many other problems). Maybe we could patch in enough muscle tissue to let the wings stir or fluff up or something, but never enough to lift the body in a one gee field. (Of course, in a zero gee field we wouldn’t need wings to get off the surface.)This would make us “sextuped” (2 arms, 2 legs, 2 wings) animals instead of quadrupeds, and I can’t think of any chordates on this planet that have 6 limbs.They’d be cool as space aliens though.
