No, they cannot. The only mammal that can truly fly is the bat. Flying squirrels use special membranes which stretch between their ankles and wrists to catch air currents, thereby gliding between trees, much the way the sugar gliders do.

Is a sugar glider a squirrel?
Yes. Marsupials are mammals which usually have pouches in which they rear their young. Female possums have a pouch. However, of more importance is the fact that marsupial young are characterised by being extremely small and undeveloped at birth. At birth, they take a long, arduous journey from the birth canal, driven purely by instinct, grabbing hold of the mother marsupial's fur which she has cleaned and made easier to traverse with saliva, to reach the pouch. Upon reaching the pouch, they latch onto a teat which swells in their mouth to prevent them from being accidentally dislodged during the mother's movements. There they stay for months, to complete their development.Possums also share other marsupialian characteristics. Female marsupials have two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These are for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there is a midline pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth. As well as two vaginas and two uteruses, female marsupials have two fallopian tubes and two cervixes. Most male marsupials, with the exception of the largest species, the Red Kangaroo, Eastern Grey and Western Grey Kangaroos, have a "bifurcated" or two-pronged penis to accommodate the females' two vaginas.
What is the nocturnal flying mammals?

What do sugar gliders drink?
Sugar gliders get most of their water from the foods that they eat, if they're fed a proper diet. Due to this fact, it might appear that the sugar gliders are not drinking much if you go by just the water bottle (or bowl) level alone. Despite the fact that sugar gliders get most of their water from foods, it is still required to have at least one water bottle in the cage at all times.
Are hand gliders and hang gliders the same thing?
Hand gliders do not exist - just bad grammar for hang glider.
Why does the animal sugar glider have the word sugar in it?
The "sugar" part of the sugar glider's name comes from the fact that these marsupials have a preference for sweet foods, even though fruits, nectar and saps are not the only thing they eat. The "glider" part of their name comes from the fact that they can glide from treetop to treetop (or power poles and other high points). They have a skin membrane which extends from their wrists to their ankles. When they launch out into the air, they spread their limbs and the skin membranes catch the air currents and allow them to glide to another level.

How do flying squirrels use echolocation?
Flying squirls use echolocation more proficiently than their biological cousins, the flying squirrels, which effectively emit sounds in short bursts and listen carefully to the echo in order to determine the location, the size, and possibly the density of the objects that the sound waves bounce off of. The only thing that flying squirls do is make noise, ignore the echo, and crash into random and easily avoidable objects.
