Using numerous examples and clear, concise language, Scott Corbett explains how life and thrust overcome weight and drag to keep an airplane aloft. During a recent around-the- world trip, the author flew on all types of planes, which prompted him to write this book for everyone who has wondered how a plane gets off the ground. Its technical accuracy has been authenticated by an airline pilot and an aeronautical engineer. Lai Darwin's precise drawings and diagrams are the result of meticulous research. "I CAN BE"....
