This article, from Texas Tech, contains a summary of a discovery that one of the earliest-known flying dinosaurs could configure their feathers into two sets of wings, similar to a biplane. The evidence for this new hypothesis is provided, along with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of such flight. An analogy between the evolution of flight in birds and the evolution of aeronautical design is also presented.
