The distance from one wing tip to the other is known as the wingspan. Wingspans vary widely depending on the type of aircraft; for example, a Boeing 747 has a wingspan of about 211 feet (64 meters), while a small general aviation aircraft might have a wingspan of around 30 feet (9 meters). In the context of birds, the wingspan can range from a few feet to over 12 feet (3.7 meters) in species like the wandering albatross.
