Similarly to their relatives, Aerialslontus flectocornus lays soft eggs in groups of about 10 - 12 in the canopies of trees. Due to predation and failure of learning to fly, usually only about 5 - 6 hatchlings will make it to adulthood.
Aerialslontus flectocornus uses the joints in the middle of its four wings to primitively walk on branches, allowing for easier movement. To allow for this, the bones in the front sections of the wings have become somewhat stronger. This does make it slightly harder to fly, but the staggering of its wings essentially counteracts this.
While not capable of flying for long times or distances, they are quite capable of gliding between trees and positioning themselves on branches. If forced to, they could likely sustain two to three minutes of flight.
They feed on the leaves of Megaplortatus sustensa.
