Re: I Want An AIS
Date: 2009-11-04 07:38 pm (UTC)Note that birds don't fly upright, and large birds spend a lot of time gliding. Humans also don't have a keel to attach things to.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of people with wings, however for your cinematic effect, with them flying around without a lot of flapping, and being able to hover in place with the wings slowly moving (instead of going at hummingbird speeds, and sounding like a helicopter), you're looking at magic, psi, or super-science. :) The setting for this story hasn't, as yet, shown any of those.
