Wings without a structural element are pretty useless for flying.
Even mosquito wings have structural elements, enabling them to not only flap, but also rotate.
For a human wing to work, it would require extremely strong structural elements to sustain the loads required to lift the human.

Are you saying airplanes have bones in them? 🤔

Yeah.
I have even seen them. Those machinely metal bones with multiple hinge and pivot joints hold the flimsy duralumin wings together while providing much needed actuation, using hydraulics.
