Ready to take off? Learn all about aerodynamics and find everything
you need to make five fabulous flying machines.
Do you love machines that fly? Can you name some key aviation
inventions, from balloons to solar-powered planes? Do you know how
flight forces such as gravity, drag, thrust, and lift work? Kids who are
raring to make their own flying machines can pore through the theory and
history of flight, build five different models -- a galactic glider, a
deadly dart, a whirlybird helicopter, a single-prop Starlite, and a
twin-prop SuperStar -- and pick up some expert tips on flying them like
an ace. Special features include:
- Tear-out printed sheets for making two paper planes
- Materials for making three propeller-powered machines, including balsa
wood body parts, neoprene wings, plastic propellers, wheels, and an
elastic band
