S1_5 It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a pig!

Abstract

It's likely we have all used the common adynation 'when pigs fly' at some time in our lives, but in this article we question how pigs may fly. Using a Strouhal number of 0.2 we calculated the combined minimum surface area of the wings required for a wild pig to fly to be 5.13 m^2.
