Abstract

In this article a physical model is created to ascertain the size of the wings of the mythological flying horse Pegasus. Due to the nature of the physics involved, it was found that many assumptions had to be made that left some doubt for the quality of the final calculations. A minimum surface area of 7.9m2 was calculated.
