Hand size is your set of dimensions for which flapping wings becomes more efficient/effective than propellers . It's about the viscosity and inertia of the air and maybe laminar manipulation.

I reckon if you swap out the plastic on the wing, and replace it with ultra thin latex, it will sound heaps quieter, and maybe even fly better. It'll be a little work to get the right thickness, stretch, etc, bi it would be worth it.

Maybe as sort of cool idea just to test it out, but some other flying system would be more practical for larger objects. Not only the human body weight would already need massive wings, but then everything else that would create enough power to flap the wings would increase the weight even more, and the wing size

[@azraelarashi6491]

​@@lalli8152 in order for a human to fly we would have to have a wingspan of about 13 -20 feet, and massively ripped chests. If we were to create a wing system for humans we would need 20 foot wingspan and probably some sort of spring system like that in exo legs to assist in flapping and to keep weight down.

[@HowlingMoonCinemas]

​@@azraelarashi6491 Or a powerful motor that flaps the wings very rapidly, like many heavy insects with rather short wings do, such as big moths and beetles. Humming birds also have very short wing spans, but because of how fast they can flap them, they can fly in all directions.

[@azraelarashi6491]

@@HowlingMoonCinemas yes but due to our larger mass they would still need to be bigger in order to create the thrust to lift ratio needed to get us airborne. Also the weight of the motor and and fuel source or battery pack plus the wings would probably break a human spine.

The wing of the dragonfly trailed behind each of these rods. Both sides moved in sync and it was able to fly pretty well.
