No, penguins have solid bones like other birds, which helps with their diving abilities and survival in the water. Hollow bones are found in flying birds to reduce weight for easier flight.

How does a penguin's skeleton look like?
A penguin's skeleton is adapted for efficient swimming and diving. It has strong, dense bones to counteract buoyancy, fused wing bones for flipper-like movement, and a flexible neck to help streamline their body in the water. Penguins also have a keeled breastbone for powerful muscle attachment, enabling them to move quickly underwater.
What are the penguin parts of the body?
For starters, a penguins wings are not big enough to support the body mass of the Penguin, thus not allowing it to fly. These wings do make great flippers, though In regards to the penguin's skeleton: Unlike the majority of other birds, penguins do not have hollow bones, so are much heavier and harder to support with their small wings. The solid, as opposed to hollow, bones act as ballast to help them dive. Also, being solid, they are less prone to breakage from the stresses of swimming. Some (but not all) flying birds have hollow bones to be lighter.

But certain structures are referred to as homologous. example: the flipper in the penguin and the arm and hand of a human have the same bone structure just different bone lengths.
Is there a species of penguin that flies?
Yes, but only one specific species. Most penguins bones have evolved to be more solid, allowing them to dive into water better. However, it prevents them from flying.
Why do penguin have heavy and solid bones?
As opposed to other birds, penguins don't need light bones to be able to fly. On the contrary, penguins need to be fairly dense and solid to be able to dive well, and not simply bob like corks to the surface.
