With this kit, you will build and y a model of a pterosaur, an order of

prehistoric ying reptiles related to the dinosaurs. This specic

pterosaur is called the Quetzalcoatlus (pronounced “ket-suhl-kow-at-

luhs”). It was the largest ying animal of all time; a huge, bird-like

creature with a 36-foot wingspan, a massive beak, and erce talons. A

battery-powered motor propels your Quetzalcoatlus through the air

while a thin cable keeps it soaring along a circular ight path. Learn how

the propeller makes the model y, about the similarities between

pterosaurs and modern-day birds, and all about this awe-inspiring giant

of the prehistoric skies.

1. Determine a suitable place for installation. Make sure the

ceiling bracket is positioned far enough away from any

walls or other obstacles so that the pterosaur does not

crash into anything when it ies around in its circular path.

Your Quetzalcoatlus is ready to

y! Turn on the motor with the

switch, making sure to keep your

hands and other body parts away from

the propeller. Pull the pterosaur a little to

the side and then “throw” it in a clockwise

direction to start it along its circular path. The

pterosaur will propel itself around and around on a

circular path. It ies only clockwise. Make sure

nothing gets in its ight path at any time.

Pterosaurs were the rst ying vertebrates. Some were hardly bigger than a sparrow,

while others had a wingspan of up to 20 meters (66 feet). Their wings had no

embrane similar to that of a modern-day bat.

their head, the function of which is still

mably for steering. Their bones were hollow

but strengthened by bridges and

sponge-like structures — thus being

both light and strong.

All of the pterosaurs known today

were meat eaters. The smaller, tailed

types were presumably skilled yers,

able to catch lake and ocean sh in

ight with their sharp beaks. Others

stood in shallow water pecking on

crustaceans and mollusks.

2. Tie one end of the cable to the

hanger with at least three very

tight knots. 3. Guide the free end of the cable

through the hole in the ceiling bracket

and insert the hanger into the hole in

the center of the bracket.

5. Place the ceiling bracket in the

desired position on the ceiling

and with a large screwdriver

(preferably powered) screw in

the three large screws (part

15) to hold the bracket in

place. Make sure the bracket is

securely in place by tugging on

the cable.

4. Tie the other end of the cable to the

hook with at least three very tight knots.

Trim the loose ends with scissors.

6. Use the hook to connect the

cable to the loop on the back

of the pterosaur.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

PTEROSAURS — FLYING PREHISTORIC CREATURES

HOW ARE PTEROSAURS LIKE BIRDS?

animals and plants that no longer exist

today. The dinosaurs became extinct

millions of years ago. But some traces of

their bodies, such as bones, skin

impressions, and footprints, have been

preserved in stone. These are called

fossils. Researchers dig up these

discoveries, study them, and compare

them to others. In this way, scientists

gured out about 200 years ago that

some of these fossil remains came from

enormous animals. Before then, people had thought they were the remains of

human-like giants!

IMPORTANT! An adult must fasten the ceiling bracket to the ceiling

to install the ying pterosaur before it can be used. Scan this QR

code for an installation and ying video.

The spinning propeller pushes the model

forward. Since the cable keeps the model

tethered to a central point, the model

cannot y o course; it stays ying in a

continuous circular motion.

To understand how propellers work, let’s

rst examine another common feature of

ying things: the wing. Wings generate a

liing force in air. Air is a mixture of gases.

The molecules in air are always moving

around and they are always being pulled

toward Earth by gravity. Air pressure is the

result of all these moving particles pushing

on each other and all the things under and

around them.

Air behaves like a uid and obeys the

physical laws of uids. To understand how

wings work, the most important principle

of uids to know is that the faster uids

move, the lower their pressure. This is

called Bernoulli’s principle aer the

scientist who came up with it. Airplane

wings are designed to take advantage of

Bernoulli’s principle to li a plane upward.

The cross section of a wing has a top

surface that is curved and therefore longer

than its bottom surface. Air owing over

the top has to travel farther, so it moves

faster. As Bernoulli’s principle states,

faster moving air has a lower pressure and

slower moving air has a higher pressure.

The high air pressure under the wing

pushes the wing upward and the low

pressure above sucks it upward. This is

called li. Li is always perpendicular to

the direction of the airow.

A propeller works like a spinning wing.

Imagine taking two (or more) wings,

sticking them on a central axis opposite

one another, and spinning the axis. The

wings would spiral through the air and

create low pressure in front of them and

high pressure behind them, and thus pull

the propeller forward. The wings

of a propeller, called blades, are

angled so they cut into the air more.

Just like they screw through the air,

propellers can also work in another uid:

water!

You can stop it at any time by carefully catching the

cord, keeping your hand away from the propeller,

and turning o the motor with the switch.

Taller than a girae, with a wingspan as wide as a school

bus, the Quetzalcoatlus is the largest known ying creature

of all time. Like other pterosaurs, the Quetzalcoatlus had

wings that stretched from its ankles to its extremely long

fourth ngers. Some scientists believe that these massive

wings, along with hollow bones and a powerful launch

system, helped the Quetzalcoatlus y for thousands of

miles without stopping, while moving as fast as a car on the

highway. The Quetzalcoatlus had a large pointed skull and

big eye sockets, indicating that it was likely intelligent and

had good eyesight. Although its jaws were toothless, the

Quetzalcoatlus’s dominant size allowed it to pick up and eat

small animals while it was walking on land. The massive

ying creature and its descendants might be dominating

Earth’s skies today were it not for a single rock. The

Quetzalcoatlus is believed to have died out around 65

million years ago during the great Cretaceous-Tertiary — or

K-T — extinction, when much of the life on Earth was wiped

out aer a huge asteroid slammed into it.

You may have heard: birds descended from dinosaurs. While

this is true, and while birds and the Quetzalcoatlus share

some similarities, the creatures you see ying around

Earth today are not related to the Quetzalcoatlus. Birds

actually evolved from a group of two-legged dinosaurs

called theropods, which include the Tyrannosaurus

rex and smaller velociraptors. Unlike most birds

today, which are bipeds like theropods, the

Quetzalcoatlus was a quadruped, meaning it

walked on four limbs when on the ground. It is

believed that the Quetzalcoatlus was covered in a downy fur,

not feathers. While both types of creatures ew, the

Quetzalcoatlus likely didn’t do much wing apping, but

rather relied on soaring on wind thermals. But

Quetzalcoatlus did have something in common with birds:

both types of animals are warm-blooded, meaning their

bodies can generate heat internally, independent of the

outside temperature. Another key dierence: birds managed

to survive the K-T extinction of 65 million years ago, while

pterosaurs, including the Quetzalcoatlus, did not.
