Unfortunately, humans do not have either. Taking these factors into account, it seems that bat-like wings are more suitable for humans than bird-like wings, in which case the hands would grow to a ...

EPFL researchers have designed flexible, batlike wings that boost lift and improve flight performance. This innovation could lead to more efficient drones or energy-harvesting technologies.

The structure of the wing membrane, the arrangement of the bones supporting ... there is not one documented case of a human contracting the disease this way. Bat bites of humans are uncommon and ...

Those wings would also need flight muscles wrapping around from the chest to the back. Related: What if humans had tails? According to Habib, bat-like wings would make more sense on humans.
