Wingspan

Birding strategy game

Wingspan is the distance from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other, measured when fully extended.

The term applies to birds, aircraft, and insects: The albatross has the largest wingspan of any living bird.

In basketball, a player's wingspan is their arm span—fingertip to fingertip with arms outstretched—a measurement that affects defensive reach and rebounding ability.
