What the new Jurassic Park movie gets wrong: Aerodynamic analysis causes a rethink of the biggest pterosaur

One of the most exciting moments of the new Jurassic Park sequel, “Jurassic World Dominion,” is when the Quetzalcoatlus swoops down from the sky and attacks the heroes’ aircraft. With its gigantic wings reaching 10 meters in length end to end, the Quetzalcoatlus was the largest pterosaur that ever existed. However, an aerodynamic analysis led by researchers from Nagoya University suggests that “Jurassic World Dominion” gets it wrong. In fact, these giant creatures would have been unable to fly for anything more than a short distance.
