Mankind has dreamed of flying since the beginning of history. Zack Scott's book lifts the curtain on the miracle that accompanies us every day - the curtain on the world of aviation. Each page, supplied with unique author's illustrations, amazing infographics and visual diagrams, explains the principles of the design of all aircraft from the first gliders to modern copters. The reader will learn how to lift an airplane into the air and land it correctly, how lift occurs and what laws of physics allow a person to fly.

"A real breakthrough for mankind - not so long ago, flying like a bird seemed impossible, and now the fragile devices of the first aviators made this dream a reality. The idea that a person is able to take off into the sky with mechanical wings and control the flight was incredible. We still retain a sense of unreality in relation to airplanes. Maybe this is where the feeling of magic comes from" (Zack Scott).
