For our project, we used the maths and ideas that we came up with. The only research conducted was that on each bird's weight and wingspan (to find perfect ratio), the 'what birds can fly' page, the average human weight and the average sternum weight of an human (to make sternum ratio to apply to emu). Please find below all our references for our project:
