When it says 30 feet in length, do they mean from tip of the beak to tail, or wingspan length? No matter what, that thing was huge.

Found a little more info down below.

http://novataxa.blogspot.com/2022/05/thanatosdrakon.html where it says -“ Two specimens were identified, the holotype (UNCUYO-LD 307) and the paratype, with an estimated wingspan of ∼ 7 m and ∼ 9 m, respectively

I believe that is wingspan. Another article mentioned that they had a 7 to 9 meter wingspan and 9 meters is about 29.5 feet. BIG BIRD!!!!!

Could be a coincidence that they would be the same, but when I see "30 feet long", I think of "beak to tail end". both measurements could be the same.
