[QUOTE="Waara Eligre Ai'Loki, post: 2613100, member: 36508"] As for the last statement, I was temporarily insane, s'all. The rest: Cumbersome indeed. I am working for flyability, not defensability. As I was actually designing these for a research paper, I needed this realistic. First of all, It would need supports, preferably of a light metal like aluminum, inside the host, under their ribs. The wings would be telescoping, with small wires running into the spinal cord and nerve system. This way, they could be returned to a relatively smaller state when the host is sleeping. As for the actual body of the wing, no more than the frame could be metal, even a light one, because, simply, metal's mass-to-gliding ability is just horrific. I was thinking originally something like vinyl for the wings, but reconsidered with spider's silk. It is about as strong as titanium, and extremely light.
