This is a fascinating fact file and learn-it-yourself project book.
It is an accessible and lively introduction to every aspect of
flight, including wings and lift, air resistance, gliding and
soaring, in both machines and the animal kingdom. It features 18
hands-on experiments to help you really find out for yourself -
make a miniature plane and a hot-air balloon, construct a kite, and
build models to demonstrate how birds fly and how jet engines work.
It features more than 240 pictures include step-by-step photographs
and explanatory diagrams. It is ideal for 8- to 12-year-olds for
home or school use. For both humans and animals, wings are the
quickest way to get around. A peregrine falcon's dramatic dive
makes it the swiftest creature on Earth. A jumbo jet's engine makes
it ten times faster than a boat or a train. This exciting and
practical science book explains how insects, birds, bats and
machines are able to fly, how wings and engines work, what flight
is like in Space, and what the future may hold. Easy-to-do projects
using everyday objects allow young scientists to discover the
fantastic facts for themselves. You can see how a propeller
operates and how a rocket blasts off into the heavens. You can make
a fun frisbee, a model parachute, and turn a simple balloon into a
hovercraft! Detailed photographs and diagrams accompany all the
projects and illustrate the various aspects of flight, carrying
young readers along on a thrilling journey through the world of air
travel.
