Sure, but let's keep it grounded. A dragon would need a lightweight frame, probably a hollow, lattice‑like rib cage, and a muscle‑powered wing system that could lift a bulk of its own mass. The myths about fire? That would be a metabolic problem, not a skeletal one. So first, figure out the load‑bearing bones and the wing span, then we can start questioning where the legend is really hiding.

Alright, but before you start sketching we need the real numbers. What’s the dragon’s mass, the length of the rib segment, the curvature of the wing tip, the muscle‑to‑bone ratio? A B‑spline is nice in theory, but if the load points are off the whole thing collapses. And fire—if you want to get into that, you’ll need a metabolic pathway, not just a legend. Let’s nail the geometry first, then we can tackle the myth.

Those numbers look reasonable, but we still need the actual stress calculations. A 1,200‑kg mass on a 1.5‑meter rib means each rib has to handle about 800 kg of load if we assume equal distribution, which is a lot for carbon‑fiber unless we add internal bracing. And a 15‑degree wing curvature—good for lift, but the bending moment at the wing root will still be huge. Put the muscle‑to‑bone ratio at 4:1, and you’re essentially saying the bones can be 20% of the total strength, which might work if the carbon fibers are near their yield limit. But let’s run the numbers before we claim the skeleton holds up. And yes, fire is a separate beast—biochemistry aside, it’s a different set of constraints entirely. Let's get the stress tensor, then we can see if the myths hold water.
