How to unlock the Flying Skulls achievement in RAGE 2 - Definitive Guide
Alternatively you can unlock the gravity wave with the sword by completing the 5 bonetowers. With the sword hold LT then press RT to use the gravity wave on skeletons. They will float in the air then just walk up and kill them with the sword.
For this achievement you will need to suspend enemies in the air and then kill them with the sword. This sounds tricky, but it's actually pretty easy. You can use your Vortex attack (+) to have enemies suspended in the air for a few seconds. With a fully upgraded Vortex you can have this effect last for around 3.5 seconds.
I found it most viable when I corralled a few enemies together, then used Vortex on them and then jump up to them and mash to attack. On the easiest difficulty it was taking 2 hits with the sword to kill basic skeletons so keep this in mind.
Attempt this from the start of the DLC as soon as you have the sword as any kills you do in this style will also count towards "Striking Skulls" above. As soon as 25 airborne skeletons are killed, the achievement will unlock.

For this trophy you must kill airborne Skeletons with a sword but there are a few methods to make this happen:
Method 1: Have a charged up Shatter and Slam. Use The slam first (with the sword equipped) and it will cause all surrounding skeletons to bounce into the air. Immediately use Shatter, then you will auto lock onto an airborne enemy and kill it.
Method 2: Using Slam again but in an enclosed room. Once the enemies are airborne they will either hit a wall or ceiling. Cut them down using normal attack quickly enough to kill them whilst they are still up.
Method 3: This requires a complete playthrough of DLC 2 - Using VOID, grab an enemy and move them right above your head. Do not use the ability, instead just let go and as they fall kill them with your sword.
Method 4: Use a fully upgraded Void and Sword Dash from the first Bonetower. This way you can get 2 skeletons each Void you cast.
Method 5: Use the ability Vortex to throw the skeletons up in the air and sword dash them from there.

Note: If you don't get this by the time you finish the DLC, don't panic because you can re-enter the cabin and do any of the missions again after the story is finished.
