List of flying non-avian dinosaurs

Hypothetical flying ornithomimid by eurwentala.

I never quite tire of talking about dinosaur flight, so I decided to make a list of the known non-avian dinosaurs that are either thought to have flown or have attributes of a then recent flighted ancestry.

Ornithomimosaurs

–Pelecanimimus (https://theropoddatabase.blogspot.com/2012/10/did-dromiceiomimus-really-have-long.html)

Oviraptorosaurs

–Caudipteryx (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2306639121)

Deinonychosaurs

–Microraptor (multiple studies)

–Changyuraptor (similarities to volant Microraptor)

–Rahonavis (multiple studies)

–Sinornithosaurus (https://archive.org/details/planetdinosaurne00scot/page/192/mode/2up)

–Deinonychus (juveniles only: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4398413/)
