Pterosaur/info/info Pterosaurs were vetebrates that lived during the Mezozoic era, from 228 to 66 Million years ago. Pterosaurians evolved wings made of skin, fine hair-like down, muscle and sinew. They were the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight, some 228 million years before humans did with assistance from technology and inspiration from those vertebrates that had come before.

Pterosaurians are not closely related to the Theropod dinosaur lineage which evolved feathers, and they mostly evolved independently. Pterosaurians were the first of 3 solutions by vetebrates to flight with the wing running from ankles to the fourth finger, the other two being birds (Avians) and the mammalian bats (Chiropterans).

The Pterosaur in Flightgear uses a JSBSim model of flapping wings based on research papers. Combined with Flightgear's terrain-driven weather modelling including thermals with Advanced Weather, the Pterosaur allows you to fly with

The Dragon is a variant that uses the same flight dynamics as the Pterosaur but with different 3d art.
