The name of the first flying dinosaur?

Answer 1

No known species of dinosaur was ever able to fly despite birds being believed to have evolved from them. The flying reptiles such as the pterodactylus, tapejara, geosternbergia and ornithocheirus etc are collectively known as 'pterosaurs'. Their taxonomy is considered different from the dinosaurs. The largest of the pterosaurs to be discovered so far is the Quetzalcoatlus.

Answer 2

There are many reptiles that flew specially during the Mesozoic era although the most well-known is the pterodactyl. However, contrary to popular belief they were not dinosaurs but a separate type of animal called pterosaurs. Although if your talking about the dinosaurs that had feathers and was the first link between birds and dinosaurs well that would be Archaeopteryx.

Answer 3

When most people think of a "flying dinosaur," they are thinking of a pterodactyl. Although they might look like flying dinosaurs, pterodactyls (and other members of the pterosaur family) are actually not dinosaurs at all! -Technically, pterosaurs are considered flying reptiles, and they are often confused with dinosaurs because they lived at the same time.

One more prehistoric animal that is sometimes considered a "flying dinosaur" is the Archaeopteryx.

Answer 4

Pterodactyls (or more properly pterosaurs) are often thought of as flying dinosaurs. However, they technically were in a branch of reptiles separate from dinosaurs.

The true flying dinosaurs were, and still are, birds.

Answer 5

Flying dinosaurs were and are called birds. Birds are the only living decendents of dinosaurs and their morphology is so similar to the raptor family of therapod dinosaurs that science is starting to consider them as avian dinosaurs.

Pterasaurs are commonly considered dinosaurs and althought they were very closely related they were a not actually dinosaurs. They evolved from a different branch of the archosaur family.
