Summary |
"In this book you will meet brave aviators, daring aerial circus performers, and test pilots; see how a jet engine operates, how aircraft-carrier staff work, and how it feels to travel in an airship; and even see the cockpit of a fighter jet and if it’s possible to build an airplane in a garage! In an accessible and funny format, readers will learn the answers to important questions such as: How do planes not fall from the sky? How does a radar or parachute work? Are wings or rotors better? The fascinating history of aviation is a story of countless ups and downs, proving that even the wildest dream can become a reality. It’s time to fasten your seatbelts and get ready for takeoff!"-- Provided by publisher. |
