The Physics of Flight. From the First Gliders to Modern Drones

Humanity has dreamed of flight since the beginning of history. Zak Scott's book unveils the marvel that accompanies us daily – the world of aviation. Each page, adorned with unique author illustrations, amazing infographics, and visual diagrams, explains the principles... of all aircraft from the first gliders to modern drones. The reader will learn how to lift an airplane into the air and land it correctly, how lift is generated, and what laws of physics allow humans to fly.
“A true breakthrough for humanity – not long ago, flying like a bird seemed impossible, and yet the fragile devices of the first aviators made this dream a reality.
The thought that a person could rise to the sky with mechanical wings and control their flight was incredible. We still retain a sense of unreality regarding airplanes. Perhaps this is where the feeling of magic comes from” (Zak Scott).
