The phrase "adapted flight" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to aviation, biology, or technology where modifications or adjustments to a flight process or mechanism are discussed.
Example: "The researchers developed an adapted flight model to study the effects of different atmospheric conditions on drone performance."
Alternatives: "modified flight" or "customized flight".
Birds arose as warm-blooded, arboreal, flying creatures with forelimbs adapted for flight and hind limbs for perching.
Feathers certainly aid flight, but they were not originally selected because they were adapted to flight.
The pterosaur wing appears to have been well adapted to flight.
Such feathers, many scientists contend, were eventually adapted for flight in the transition of some carnivorous dinosaurs to birds.
Instead, feathers may have evolved for insulation, display, camouflage, species recognition, or some combination of these functions and only later became adapted for flight.
But fossils from China suggest the precursors of feathers simple, filament-like structures possibly used for insulation evolved in land-lubbing dinosaurs and were only later adapted for flight.
She had discovered, by watching thousands of them jump, that they were actually adapted for flight, and that the jumping flea developed an acceleration on take-off 20 times that of a moon rocket re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.
Represented by wing and leg bones, these birds are inferred to have had longer limbs than present forms and to have been less well adapted for flight underwater than are contemporary species.
Open-habitat bovids are mostly medium to large, do not hide except in early infancy, have a build adapted for flight in the open, have a conspicuous and distinctive coloration that advertises their presence and species, are mainly grazers or mixed feeders (graze and browse), and form herds. Whether the mating system is territorial or based on a male dominance hierarchy may be linked to phylogeny.
If Anchiornis and Archaeopteryx were ancestral birds, it would appear that that feathers, which Feduccia shows to be complex, intricate structures well adapted for flight, evolved for that purpose.
It had pennaceous feathers on its wings that were clearly adapted for flight: They were asymmetrically shaped and overlapping in such a way as to make them more aerodynamic.
