About this listen
Taking a flight is exciting, but many aspects of aviation remain a mystery. Why do the wings of an airliner seem to grow before takeoff? How does a jet engine lift a massive aircraft into the sky? And why do pilots sometimes detour across the airport to find the perfect wind conditions?
In this entertaining, easy-to-read book, we answer these questions with humor and insight. Discover how aircraft have evolved to be bigger, faster, and safer, and explore quirky scenarios like what happens if an airliner tries to break the sound barrier. Packed with surprising facts, this book is perfect for anyone curious about the wonders of flight.
Get ready to see flying in a whole new way!
From the author of Answers to Unusual Questions about Flying to Faraway Destinations, this book will help you understand the countless aspects of your flight that work hard to ensure you arrive safely.
