Atewa Range

Butterfly species include the Papilio antimachus, which has the widest wingspan in the world and the Mylothris atewa, which may be globally critically endangered.

Brachodes buxeus

It is very similar to Brachodes candefactus, but can be distinguished by the wider wingspan, the presence of a developed proboscis, the longer tooth-like processes of the antennal segments and the smaller beige-yellow marking on the hindwing underside.

Camaegeria polytelis

This species has a wingspan of 19-24mm and it is close to Camaegeria xanthomos and Camaegeria sylvestralis.

Camaegeria xanthomos

This species has a wingspan of 22mm and it is close to Camaegeria polytelis and Camaegeria sylvestralis.

Carposina pygmaeella

The wingspan is about 6 mm, making it the smallest Hawaiian Carposinidae species.

Deborrea griveaudi

This species has a wingspan of 18.5-27mm and it is known from southern Madagascar from the surroundings of Tuléar (Andranovory).

Falconiformes

The smallest species is believed to be the Black-thighed Falconet, small males of which can weigh only 28 g (1 oz), measure 14 cm (5.5 inches) and have a wingspan of 26 cm (10.3 inches).

General Atomics MQ-1C Gray Eagle

Isabella Russell-Ides

In 2013 WingSpan Theatre produced her newest work Lydie Marland in the Afterlife to critical applause.

Karoo Ice Age

Higher oxygen concentration (and accompanying higher atmospheric pressure) enabled energetic metabolic processes which encouraged evolution of large land-dwelling vertebrates and flight, with the dragonfly-like Meganeura, an aerial predator, with a wingspan of 60 to 75 cm.

Mark D. Maughmer

At the 1991 World Gliding Championships in Uvalde, Texas, the trophy for the highest speed went to a winglet equipped 15-meter class limited wingspan glider, exceeding the highest speed in the unlimited span Open Class, an exceptional result.

Mars Hill, Maine

Rotor diameters are comparable to the wingspan of a Boeing 747.

Monocoupe 110 Special

The wingspan was shortened from the standard 32 ft to 23 ft, a 125 h.p. Warner Scarab was installed and fairings and wheel spats added.

Phazaca theclata

Its wingspan is around 17 mm and its larvae feeds on Verbenaceae species, including Stachytarpheta urticifolia.

Réunion Kestrel

From reviewing the evidence, the bird was most probably the émerillon, with the pieds jaunes being either migrant falcons (the only species that might occur in the area, the Sooty Falcon, Eleonora's Falcon and the Peregrine Falcon, are larger than F. duboisi was, if not in overall length, then at least in wingspan) or the juveniles of the marsh harrier, which are distinctly colored and also have yellow feet.

Roland Falk

During the 1955 Farnborough Airshow he barrel-rolled a Vulcan at the top of the post-take-off climb, although safe it was a spectacular manoeuvre in an aircraft weighing 69 tons and with a 99-foot wingspan.

Sheep moth

The sheep moth has a 5.5-8.5 centimeter wingspan and a relatively slender body and (FW) wings that pink with a yellow streak in the middle and (HW) yellowish with variable black markings with an all-black form near Mount Shasta.

Valentin Taifun

:Later production variant with a 17 metre wingspan and a Limbach flat-four engine or can be retrofitted with a Rotax 914, hydraulically operated landing gear, double panel Schempp-Hirth type airbrakes on the upper wing surface.

Vickers R.E.P. Type Monoplane

The sixth aircraft, built for the 1912 British Military Aeroplane Competition was noticeably different, with side-by-side seating for its two crew, a shorter wingspan (35 ft (10.67 m) rather than 47 ft 6 in (14.5 m) for the earlier aircraft), while a 70 hp (52 kW) Viale radial engine was fitted.

Zone-tailed Hawk

The Zone-tailed is comparable in length and wingspan to common large Buteos found to the north such as Swainson's and Red-tailed Hawk, but may weigh considerably less.
