![]() ![]() ![]() Made of lightweight titanium ribbing and mylar, the wings are covered with Means of his jet-powered glider wings whichĮxtend beneath his arms from his wrists to It's certainly possible that this carried over into the films. In the original comic-books, the Falcon's wings were made of titanium (for strength) and mylar (for lightness). He uses them as a shield a couple of times to stop incoming projectiles so the strength doesn't seem to have changed. Lastly, I just want to point out that we do see Sam performing similar acts with his original wings as he does with the new ones. As such the overall materials used in the construction don't seem to have changed. What we can sort of make out though is that the wings still consist of metal supporting frame, fabric-like material for the most part with supporting tines throughout. The main supporting structure and the overall shape is different, however, it isn't clear if this is a completely new suit or just an altered one. I think it is worth noting that the EXO-7 Falcon wings seen in Falcon and the Winter Soldier are clearly an upgraded version at the very least. Given that they are Wakandan made we can be reasonably sure that they are made at least partially from Vibranium. Since this question was asked and the season has now ended we have seen that Sam now has a new suit and set of wings courtesy of the Wakandans. Note that the second image is the same suit but just repainted as far as I can tell from when he joins the Avengers. It's worth noting that you can certainly see the different materials of the wings when you look closely into them. Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier: The Art of the Movie The actual armature is very small, and the fabric-like material is stretched over other stuff and has different levels of rigidity." "They needed to be really thin to look like they could collapse into his backpack. "The wings are a mix of different materials, so they look like the could be layered," Nizzi continues. And then we added some additional tines in there, but the big reference was sails from sailboats." Ultimately, what was decided on was a mix of different levels of flexibility in the armature, almost with a sailboat kind of material. "Are they a glider suit? Are they mechanical wings? How bird-like are they? Do they look like wings from an airplane? There were tons of different explorations. "We did a lot of explorations of what his wings would look like," Nizzi explains. However, precisely what materials the suit is supposed to be is never stated. Essentially the wings are made of some metal for the frame, a "sailboat kind of material" and tines for support, as Josh Nizza says below. There is some more information in Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier: The Art of the Movie. ![]() Sam Wilson: I don't know if you've been in a fight before but there's usually not this much talking. ![]() Peter Parker: That would explain the rigidity-flexibility ratio, which, gotta say, that's awesome, man. Sam Wilson: Is this stuff coming out of you? Hey buddy, I think you lost this! Those wings carbon fiber? The only indication we get is Peter's educated guess but Sam doesn't answer him as, y'know, they're in the middle of a fight: We do see the file on the EXO-7 Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier but only the cover as far as I know. There isn't really anything in the films themselves as to what they could be. The wiki page for the EXO-7 Falcon wings says "impact-resistant carbon fiber material" but offers no citation to back this up. I'll answer as best I can with the information available to me at the moment and that is simply that we don't know. ![]()
