No, technically penguins cannot fly. Penguins are birds, so they do have wings. However, the wing structures of penguins are evolved for swimming, rather than flying in the traditional sense.

The Puffin isn't a penguin. But unlike most penguins the puffin can fly. It uses its stubby little wings to lift of the ground. The puffin can fly between the speeds of 44-58 mph but most of the time it stays on the ground. It's wing speed can each up to 400 beats per second {bps}. That's fast enough that sometimes the wings are a blur and the puffin looks like a little football soaring through the air.
