With helium, new space-age materials, ect. you would think that even with 
size of wing span, someone would invent something-- powered by 
solar,airflow, muscles 
just wondering with pollution, too many cars if there is an oppurtunity to 
start a company
thanks


I was refering to "actual wings", folding up, flapping etc.  Personal
bird -like wings
thanks for any more help
