This title comes with 18 easy-to-do experiments and 240 exciting
pictures. You can uncover the flight techniques of insects, birds
and other flying creatures. You can explore the science that humans
have developed to enable them to fly. You can find out how a jumbo
jet carrying 500 passengers can stay in the air, and how a
hummingbird can hover over a flower with pinpoint precision.
Exciting experiments and inside-view diagrams explain the mechanics
of drag, lift and thrust. Dramatic photographs and expert text
capture the power and mystery of flight. It is an ideal reference
source, for use at home or at school. You can follow the history of
flying, from the first (disastrous) human attempts to soar like
birds, to the creation of a supersonic airliner that flies faster
than a bullet. You can explore the techniques of nature's most
skilled flyers - from the prehistoric pterosaur to the
long-distance albatross. You can share the excitement of the first
human flight by Orville and Wilbur Wright, and the challenge of
flying a round-the-world hot-air balloon. Step-by-step experiments
and projects - including making a balloon jet, a kite and a rocket
- will help you to understand how flight works.
