the early flying dinosaur probably spread two pairs of feathered wings-like early aviation's biplane -to glide between trees, according to a study.
with long feathers,on its hands and legs ,the small four winged micro raptor would drop from its perch, swoop back up and fly up and down in an undulating motion from tree to tree.
The bird's ancestor could potentially cover a distance of a t least 130 ft, according to the study published in the proceedings of the US national academy of science.
It seems likely that microraptor invented the biplane 125 millions years before the Wright 1903 flyer,wrote researcher sankar chaaerjee of Texas tech university.
the 2.5 ft long,tree dwelling dinosaur,which weighed nearly one kilograms,also had a long feathered tail offering additional flight and stability and controlled pitch,the study said.
