OK this is mostly for my book but also for the sake of wanting to know. Warning this is a biology question technically
How do the wings of a dragon and griffin compare and what would happen if they were fused

Dragon wings are leathery in appearance, probably similar to bat's wings. Griffins have wings pretty much identical to bird's wings, a stiffer framework with feathers.
Fused... I don't know... Possibly something like Archeopteryx's wings.

I took biologly, so I would try to answer it to the best of my ability. Some dragons do have feathers, like a bird. So a fuse might be possible. Griffin have feathers wings, but with the classic dragon wings it might impossible.

Shape of the wings? Well, since theoretically both species' wings follow the traditional mammalian/avian/reptilian wing structure utilizing a hand-like framework, I would guess the shape would be something like this (nope did not draw it):

i think that maybe if they were fused they would look like saphira's wings on eragon.
