How they fly?
Now, coming to the process of taking flight, or gliding, begins by gaining great velocity underwater, about 37 miles (60 kilometers) per hour while angling upward, the four-winged flying fish breaks the surface and begins to taxi by rapidly beating its tail while it is still beneath the surface. It then takes to the air, sometimes reaching heights over 4 feet (1.2 meters) and gliding long distances, up to 655 feet (200 meters). Once it nears the surface again, it can flap its tail and taxi without fully returning to the water.
