TAKE AN ADRENALINE-FUELLED RIDE INTO THE SKY AND BEYOND!
Welcome to
The history of human aviation spans over a hundred years, from the
first manned flight of the Wright Flyer in 1903, which flew a
groundbreaking 260 metres, to the futuristic spacecraft of today that
shuttle astronauts and payloads to the International Space Station.
Today’s aircraft are constantly evolving and being upgraded; would
the Wright brothers even recognise a Eurofighter Typhoon as a
descendant of their Flyer? In this new edition of How It Works Book of
Aircraft, we will bring to life a plethora of modern flying machines.
Find out what it takes to become a pilot for the Red Arrows and how
the Supermarine Spitfire became such a successful aircraft in the
Military section. Discover how commercial airliners are becoming
more and more efficient and what the next evolution of Concorde
may look like in the Commercial section. In the Spacecraft section we
transport you to the outer reaches of space to search for life on
distant planets and investigate how we may soon send humans to
Mars with the SpaceShipTwo. Enjoy the book!
