Under the supervision of professor Anthony Russell, Longrich examined Archaeopteryx fossils and determined that the dinosaur's leg feathers have an aerodynamic structure that imply its rear limbs likely acted as lift-generating "winglets" that played a significant role in flight. Oh, but it's a bird! Just a bird! Really!
Just a bird with teeth, unfused forelimb claws, lots of tail bones, a flat sternum, and--now we see--flight feathers on its legs.
For a better known and more obvious "four-winger," see Microraptor gui.

Quit with the science denial BS, you know darwinism isn't science, its wishful thinking by a bunch of atheist biology majors who wish they had a cool theory like physics and chemistry have cool theories.
