摘要: THE coracoids, humeri and sternum of Archaeopteryx indicate that it was a poor flier1. Recent work on pigeon flight2 suggests an analysis the strength wing bones should allow quantitative evaluation flight potential Archaeopteryx. While Pennycuik's experimental techniques could not be used, theoretical approach seemed feasible.
