Taking a flight can be exciting, but some aspects of flying can be very puzzling, such as why the wing suddenly grows before take-off, like a magic trick. Or how does the jet engine make so much power to haul huge airliners into the air? Or why aircraft seek out the optimum wind conditions for take-off, even if it means taking you on a tour of the airport.

In Answers to Unusual Questions About How Aircraft Fly, you'll uncover the fascinating and often surprising science behind air travel—answered in a fun and humor-filled way. Whether you're curious about how aircraft have evolved to become larger, faster, and safer, or you're wondering about the quirky, behind-the-scenes details that make your flight possible, this book takes you on an unforgettable journey through the world of aviation.
