>>531599https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelagornis#Paleobiology>Originally, there were controversies over whether or not P. sandersi would be able to fly. Previously, the assumed maximum wingspan of a flying bird was 17 ft (5.2 m), because it was hypothesized that above 17 ft, the power required to keep the bird in flight would surpass the power capacity of the bird's muscles. However, this calculation is based on the assumption that the bird in question stays aloft by repeatedly flapping its wings, whereas P. sandersi more likely glided on ocean air currents close to the water, which is less power-intensive than reaching high altitudes.[15][24] It has been estimated that it was able to fly at up to 60 km/h (37 mph).[22] P. sandersi's long wingspan and gliding power would have enabled it to travel long distances without landing while hunting.[13]>…>P. sandersi is theorized to have glided and traveled similarly to a modern albatross, however, according to Dan Ksepka, its closest modern relatives are chickens and ducks.[14]
>Some scientists expressed surprise at the idea that this species could fly at all, given that, at between 22 and 40 kg (48 and 88 lb), it would be considered too heavy by the predominant theory of the mechanism by which birds fly.[25] Dan Ksepka of the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in Durham, North Carolina, who identified that the discovered fossils belonged to a new species, thinks it was able to fly in part because of its relatively small body and long wings,[26] and because it, like the albatross, spent much of its time over the ocean.[12] No.531660
>>531599Albatross have a hard time because they have to take a running start off water, it's tough for most birds including smaller ones due to surface tension of the water. However the larger the bird, the stronger the legs. The Kori Bustard and Swan are comparably heavy to Pelagornis and heavier than the Albatross and most certainly can fly.
Argentavis is also thought to be able to fly and was estimated as heavier than Pelagornis.
