Lovely pterosaur image.  Why does it make me nuts when they show the
membrane with no camber (when soaring, camber should be between
approximately 4.5 & 9% dependent upon the coefficient of lift) and
ignore the distal bend near the juncture of MCIV & PhIV-1 that controls
the spanwise tension in the membrane and provides geometric stiffness.
Oh well, it's beautiful nonetheless.
