Synopsis

This activity-based series encourages the reader to explore simple design and technology concepts and to try them out in practical projects. Each book explains the basic principles of the subject, looking at examples of design found in nature, and working through to advanced modern technology. In this book the author guides the reader through the basic technological concepts of flight. Starting with an examination of how insects, seeds and birds become airborne, the author moves on to parachutes, hot-air balloons, kites, gliders and hang-gliders. Aircraft with engines - from early aeroplanes to the latest jets and helicopters - are discussed in the second half of the book. Each section contains a practical experiment to illustrate the design principles involved.
