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.
The CL-1201 design project studied a nuclear-powered aircraft of extreme size, with a wingspan of 1,120 feet (340 m). [4] Had it been built, it would have had the largest wingspan of any airplane to date, [5] and more than three times that of any aircraft of the 20th century.
Human Design Bodygraph from Maia Mechanics Imaging Software. Human Design is a pseudoscientific [1] [2] new age practice, described as a holistic self-knowledge system. [3] It combines astrology, the Chinese I Ching, Judaic Kabbalah, Vedic philosophy and modern physics. [4] [5] [6] [7]
The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the opposite wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of 60.93 metres (199 ft 11 in), [ 1 ] and a wandering albatross ( Diomedea exulans ) caught in 1965 had a wingspan of 3.63 metres (11 ft 11 in), the official record for a living bird.
The design was run in simulations to check feasibility before committing to construction. [9] The aircraft has a wingspan of 32 metres (105 ft) [10] (comparable to a Boeing 737), [1] [3] and weighs 43 kilograms (95 lb). [1] [3] [10] It cost $200,000 CDN [10] (approx. US$200,000), not including donated material and time. [10]

Quetzalcoatlus northropi has gained fame as a candidate for the largest flying animal ever discovered, though estimating its size has been difficult due to the fragmentary nature of the only known specimen. While wingspan estimates over the years have ranged from 5.2–25.8 m (17–85 ft), more recent estimates hover around 10–11 m (33–36 ft).
