IF
THIS WAS A BIRD, COULD IT FLY?
Scientific
studies have shown that the flight feathers of the ancient bird are as
strongly curved as those of modern birds. The structure and alignment of
the feathers suggest that the bird could fly, just as well as modern birds.
But there are many theories, and facts that go against this example:
The
pectoral muscles were too small for powered flight.
The
long bony tail may have been aerodynamically inefficient.
The
wrist structure is incompatible with the execution of the flapping motion.
