Why Humans Can’t Fly Like Birds.

Why Fly Like Birds are Sexy.

Why Fly Like Birds are Scarier than Clowns.

“You could hypothetically fly if you become half human half plane.”

This may upset quite some people but…

Scientists have said that it is mathematically impossible for humans to fly like birds.

Why?

Differences such as air sacs connected to their lungs make them lighter and a lightweight skeleton with hollow bones.

Birds can fly because their wingspan and wing muscle strength are in balance with their body size.

It’s all about strength to size ratio.

Humans grow and weight increases faster than the strength.

This means that in order to have a chance of flying, an adult male would need to have a wingspan of at least 6.7 m and are weightless.
