What is turbulence? What do those lines on the runways mean? All these questions and many more are answered in this gorgeously illustrated history of planes and flight. The book opens with a basic introduction to plane anatomy and shows how aircrafts have developed over the ages. Readers will then learn about aerodynamics, the mechanics of wing shape and lift, and how ailerons, propellers, and flaps work. There's even a section on communications systems, runway design, and GPS. Profiles of famous historic planes illustrate basic principles throughout the book. Readers will find out about record-breaking flights across continents and oceans; how "flying wings" evolved into the B-2 bomber; and where the world's most treacherous runways are located. A section on experimental aircraft looks at zeppelins, flying cars, and the fate of the Concorde jet. Jan Van Der Veken's lushly colored, retro drawings detail everything from plane design to the physics of flight and provide the perfect companion to his engaging text. Budding aviators will linger over every detail of this information-packed book that serves both to demystify and celebrate the miracle of flight."-- provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Airplane design -- Atmosphere and weather -- Communication and navigation -- The future of flight. 546 $a Translated from the Dutch. 650 0 $a Airplanes $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Airplanes $x Design and construction $v Juvenile literature. 941 $a 2 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215023121.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210312010109.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=988CFB32830011EB840D63B52BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
