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 arm span measurement is usually very close to the person's height.
The distance A to B is the wingspan of this Boeing 777-200ER. 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 ...
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.
A Japanese study using the former metric found the same result for male attractiveness but women with longer legs than body were judged to be more attractive. [13] Excessive deviations from the mean were seen as indicative of disease. [13] "High class fashion journals depict women with an extreme length of limb, and decorative art does the same ...
The ape index is usually defined as the ratio of arm span to height. However, an alternative approach is arm span minus height with the result being positive, 0 or negative. Unlike the dimensionless ratio, this calculation produces a numeric value in the units of measurement used to represent the height and arm span.
5.5 m – height of a Baluchitherium, the largest land mammal ever lived; 6.5 m – wingspan of Argentavis, the largest flying bird known; 6.7 m – length of a Microchaetus rappi; 7.4 m – wingspan of Pelagornis, the bird with longest wingspan ever. [125] 7.5 m – approximate length of the human gastrointestinal tract
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is making good on his threats to go after the media in court, with several recent lawsuits seeking damages against major publishers over what he describes as ...
The standing height is around 80 to 90 cm (31 to 35 in). [6] [7] The total length (from beak to tail) and wingspan are in the same range of measurements, from 90 to 105 cm (35 to 41 in). [6] [8] Most of the plumage is pinkish white.
