===Flight=== The Simurgh is capable of flight.<ref name="reddit eSummary2" /> Her flight is not dependent on her wings;<ref name="II17.4 e1" /><ref name="28.4 eFlightSpeculation" /> however, by pointing her wings directly behind her, she can become more aerodynamic.<ref name="II19.z eDive">She accelerated, hurtling through the air, every wing pointed directly behind her, as though she were diving.<br><br>She flew to the Machine Army.<br><br>Heroes fought the Machine Army, and Legend had yet to arrive.<br><br>The Simurgh swooped down onto the defensive perimeter, one of her feet crushing a heroine into pulp that bubbled up between her toes. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/02/23/infrared-19-z/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.z]]</ref> Although [[Weaver]] speculated the [[Endbringer]] used telekinesis to move,<ref name="28.4 eFlightSpeculation">She rotated in the air, holding her position, wings flat at her sides. The wings were purely ornamental, much as Behemoth’s bulk and musculature had been. She used telekinesis to move, and she used it now to keep herself oriented in the air, rotating so she matched our orbit around her, her eyes and attention fully fixed on the Dragonfly. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/07 Excerpt] from [[Cockroaches 28.4]]</ref> the Simurgh does not refer to the use of telekinesis when she flies.<ref name="II19.z" /> Her telekinesis is not only [[Manton-limited]],<ref name="II20.5 eNoFlung" /> but she could still move even when the [[Dragonflight#Bakunawa|Bakunawa Zero]] cancelled her telekinesis.<ref name="II20.1 eBakunawaCancel" /> [[Eidolon]] built her from structures that presumably have the common ability of flight.<ref>Our ability to fly comes from the waste common to most of our kind, because we had to fly to get to our destinations. We had to fly to reach barren versions of this Earth, where we form our structures and our routines so we can conserve and distribute energy, process, and provide the mechanisms for ''power''. For capabilities. - [[Heavens 12.all]]</ref> In the troposphere, the Simurgh is unable to fly fast enough to fully dodge a G-driver blast fired outside her active scream range; she was forced to choose between destruction and a grazing hit.<ref name="II20.a eFirstShot" /><ref name="II20.a eOutsideRange" /> She is also slower than [[Victoria Dallon]] carrying [[Rain O'Fire Frazier]];<ref>The Simurgh rose up, toward the hole in the ceiling. I flew us to meet her. The golden beam lanced out beside me, carving out a line in the Simurgh’s leg.<br>[...]<br>The ceiling, the wall, and pieces of ''everything'' around us pulled away, reoriented so the most ragged, pointed parts were poised toward us.<br>[...]<br>The Simurgh lunged, but not for the hole in the ceiling. For the floor.<br><br>I dove, with enough force that I thought my collarbone would tear free, or that lightheadedness I was feeling might cause me to black out.<br><br>The telekinetically poised debris collapsed in on us, barred the way.<br><br>I didn’t flinch, didn’t waver.<br><br>Someone shot one chunk. Others warped, veering out of the way.<br><br>A pillar of black-blue Capricorn stone speared out below us, more a barrier than the chunks it shoved out of the way, then dissipated into motes of light a second later.<br><br>We closed the distance, and the blade met the Simurgh’s silver flesh, carving out a shimmering silver line, so close in color that it looked like there was no line at all. From shoulder to back, to hip. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/03/17 Excerpt] from [[Last 20.7]]</ref> Victoria can keep up with a train travelling at around 100 mph.<ref>A train came, traveling west-to-east. I knew Sveta and Tristan would be boarding it. Had I been on foot, it was the one I would have caught.<br><br>When the other train came, traveling the opposite direction, I followed it.<br>[...]<br>The train was old-fashioned in look, cars linked by couplings, and passengers could move between cars, with the space between each car being open to the air. Periodically passengers would step out to smoke or get fresh air. Most were parents with kids.<br><br>At the caboose, a figure had stepped out onto the back. Rain.<br><br>He climbed over the railing and jumped, while the train was going well over a hundred miles an hour. - [[Glare 3.5]]</ref> Her flight can work outside [[Space|Earth's atmosphere]]. After the [[shard network]] transported the finished [[Endbringer]] to the far side of the moon (i.e., near the end of December 2002<ref name="24.x eLausanne" /> when the moon was closest<!-- https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/distance.html?year=2002&n=1184 --> to [[Earth Bet]]), she descended to [[Lausanne]] in an unknown time frame.<ref name="25.4 eMoon">The Simurgh had approached from the far side of the moon and descended to hover just above the tallest building in Lausanne. - [[Scarab 25.4]]</ref> The Simurgh can also fly up and maintain a lazy orbit in the Earth's thermosphere<ref name="10.5 eThermosphere" /> or mesosphere.<ref name="16.z eScramble" />
