Would a bumble bee the size of a man be able to fly?

Assuming a 6' tall man weighs 190 lbs, how much would a 6' tall bumble bee weigh?Would a bumble bee the size of a man be able to fly?
From an aeronautics point of view, bumblebees the size of bumblebees aren't supposed to fly, they're too heavy for their wing area. It's a mystery.Would a bumble bee the size of a man be able to fly?
No, the lifting surfaces necessary increase exponentially as weight increases, therefore the wings would need to be much bigger in proportion to the body. When the wings are that big, there is no way they could beat as fast.
I'm pretty sure that an insect's exoskeloton wouldn't function like they do at that scale. It would be pretty cool.
I am sure if they grew that big, they


would function as usaul - why not?


Look at the large birds of the world


they manage to fly, regardless of thier


size and weight - if it is meant to fly


it will fly. ( Hey, how about Superman )
the limitation would be the exoskeleton





it could not get to be more than a few inches long, I think





there were large dragonflies years ago though
i don't think so
As long as IT reddems ITS miles by Dec 31, probably yes.
Not if the proportions were kept the same. The wing area would increase about as the square of the increase in size. The weight would increase about as the cube of the increase in size.





I guess I would be glad it couldn't fly.
Well, science isn't my strong point. However, if people can get those enormous and incredibly heavy airplanes off the ground, then I think it's safe to say that a man-sized bee could probably go airborne!


If he were John Belushi in a killer bee outfit, you could bet your bottom dollar on flight!


(The weight of a six-foot tall bumble bee would depend on its body ';type';; is it a beefy bee, for example!?)
