Not one that small, assuming you are on Earth.

>>8782567
of course, if you are under water

Too small for Earth's gravity and atmospheric density.

Now it doesn't have to be quite as big as a sport hangglider, but it needs to be nearly that big.

>>8782567
It might be workable on venus

>>8782567
Yes it would, try it and see.

make sure to jump from something really high or it might not work op

>>8783123

Even a wing as small as OP's would be better than nothing. Sink rate and airspeed would be astronomical, glide ratio would be abysmal and you'd probably break bones on landing, but it would "glide" somewhat.
