You may determine the length of the wings that a man
must use if he wants to fly; since the length of a swallow’s
wing is about twice the length of its whole body, the length
of a wing for a man of 5 feet must be 10 feet. The rest can
readily be deducted. Nevertheless many other kinds of birds
should be examined, for example geese, partridge, dove, hens,
vultures, eagles, before you commit yourself to the winds.
Marin Mersenne (1588 - 1648). French scientist who was influential in the theoretics of flight. He was a writer and an active correspondent with people such as Descartes on the theories of flight.
