How long do flying fish above the water?

Here's a breakdown of how they do it:

* Powerful pectoral fins: They use these fins, which are shaped like wings, to glide through the air.

* Speed: They accelerate in the water, building up enough speed to launch themselves into the air.

* Tail: They use their tail to propel themselves out of the water.

It's important to note that:

* The exact time they stay airborne varies depending on factors like the species, the weather conditions, and the length of their glide.

* They don't actually "fly" like birds. They glide, which means they are not actively flapping their fins to stay aloft.
