The root box is estimated from a measurement of the wing width at the base (the root chord) and the difference between the wingspan and two times the extent of a single wing. [10] Alternatively, the total wing area can be estimated using the wingspan, wing length, and wing width and assuming simple geometric figures for the shape of the wings. [11]
2.4 m – wingspan of a mute swan; 2.5 m – height of a sunflower; 2.7 m – length of a leatherback sea turtle, the largest living turtle; 2.72 m – (8 feet 11 inches) – tallest-known human (Robert Wadlow) [31] 3 m – length of a giant Gippsland earthworm; 3 m – length of an Komodo dragon, the largest living lizard
Arm span or reach (sometimes referred to as wingspan, or spelled armspan) is the physical measurement of the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a 90° angle.

[50] [51] [52] According to Slate, as of August 2021, Wingspan had sold 125,000 combined copies of digital editions on the platforms combined. [53] A video game edition for Wingspan European Expansion was also later released. [54] A digital version of the Wingspan Oceania Expansion was released in December 2023. [55]
The charts show the added lift benefit produced by ground effect. [ 3 ] For fan and jet-powered vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, ground effect when hovering can cause suckdown and fountain lift on the airframe and loss in hovering thrust if the engine sucks in its own exhaust gas, which is known as hot gas ingestion (HGI).
Co-occurring pterosaurs included the small azhdarchid Eurazhdarcho, with a wingspan of 3.8 m (12 ft), [6] an unnamed, small-sized short-necked azhdarchid with a wingspan of 3.5 to 4 m (11.5 to 13.1 ft), a somewhat larger and likewise unnamed azhdarchid, with a wingspan of 5 m (16.4 ft), and apparently small pteranodontids have been found as ...
