Planes and flying are fun.

During take-off, we get pushed back into our seats like on a roller coaster. From the air, buildings, trees, and cars are so small they look like toys; highways and railroad tracks are mere lines across the land. After we land at our destination, new adventures await us.

If you have ever flown, you may remember these feelings. But have you ever wondered, how planes stay up in the air? For the answer, click on:
