  According to all known laws of aviation, dragons should not be able to fly...
  Anyway, I just kinda rationalized it to be they're magic, they'll fly if they want to. That or their wings are just wicked strong. Plus, there are also dragons that don't fly, and dragons without wings that do fly.
  Don't question the dragons! They're just cool like that.
  Edited becase why did i type see instead of are lol

  They are big but hollow and lightly built.   They are full of hydrogen, which allows them to fly and sometimes belch flames. >
  
  TIL the Hindenburg was a dragon >
  
  That's why their hides/scales have to be so tough. One well shot arrow and it's explody dragon. >
  
  That's what happens in this scene. >
  
  I’m always dumbfounded to think that’s Mathew McConaughey. >
  
  Muuuuuurrrrrrrrfffff >
  
  What makes dragons fantasy is that they aren't real like Goblins or Mermaids. >
  
  Being on the internet long enough I am certain goblins exist >
  
  You're thinking of trolls >
  
  Tbf that’s something a goblin would say. >
  
  Tbf when it comes to many insects they appear too big for their wings, which they have ‘solved’ through vortex use. >
  
  But don't flying insects appear too big for their wings mainly because they need less lift relative to their size? Volume (mass) ~ length^3 >
  
  Many flies, if I recall correctly, shouldn’t be able to fly based on mass versus wing size ratio. Research showed it was due to the vortices created by their wings.
  Again, if I recall correctly. >
  
  Not just flies, according to all known laws of aviation there’s no way a bee should be able to fly >
  
  I think they have found out how. Fast motion, a twist and rotation of a flexible wing is making the trick >
  
  Now i m going to waste 30 minutes of my life reading about it in details. Thanks >
  
  But dragons is dinosaurs, and birds is dinosaurs, so maybe they have hollow bones. >
  
  Yeah I’m kind of comparing them to pterodactyls in my head here >
  
  Pterosaurs could fly because they were like 80% wings and swol af. Six limbed dragons would have a hard time but wyverns (4 limbed dragons) would have an easier time. Also magic and all that. >
  
  Oh yeah with 6 limbs that’s not gonna happen- I was thinking two legs and two wings (wyverns) >
  
  Not only can a Dragonite fly, it’s fast af with them baby wings >
  
  Damn never thought of this til now LOL that was part of my OG 6.
