A scaled physical model and wind-tunnel tests evaluate aerodynamic feasibility; model geometry and flow results are not observations of extinct behaviour.
Scaled physical-model wind-tunnel tests found stable, high-drag gliding at high lift coefficients and limited performance differences among tested hindlimb configurations; these are model outputs, not observed Microraptor behaviour.
