Largest Flying Bird Ever Had 6.4-Meter Wingspan Based on fossils discovered in 1983 during excavations for a new airport terminal, scientists have modeled the flight of the largest flying bird ever reported. Named Pelagornis sandersi, the extinct bird had a 6.4-meter wingspan -- double that of today’s largest fliers.
