However, they were neither the first nor the last to design an aircraft. Early designs looked very different than the planes we have today, but engineers from 1903 onward have generally tried to improve on the existing plane design rather than reinventing it. Readers learn about the successes and failures of airplane design, from the ancient Egyptian Saqqara bird to the hypersonic planes of the future. Engaging sidebars augment the informative main text, and graphic organizers help visual learners understand the mechanics of flight"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 11 $b Cavendish Square Publishing. 521 $a Grades 4-6 $b Cavendish Square Publishing. 650 0 $a Airplanes $v Juvenile literature. $9 212444 650 0 $a Airplanes $x Design and construction $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Airplanes $x History $v Juvenile literature. $9 218536 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231128010529.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BD37B970883B11EEBC107B3452ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
