Razpon kril
Razpon kril (ang. Wingspan ali pa samo Span) je razdalja med obema koncema krila. Termin se uporablja v letalih, ornitopterjih, pticah in drugih organizmih s krili. Boeing 777 npr. ima razpon kril 60 metrov, albatros (Diomedea exulans) ujet leta 1965 je imel razpon kril 3,6 metrov - rekord za živečo ptico.
