Description
Features the most exciting aircraft and missiles in the world today
Includes profiles of the most awe-inspiring jets, helicopters and missiles in current use
Discusses the impact of stealth and other major advances in aircraft technology
Illustrated throughout with superb colour photography
The first powered flight made by the Wright brothers took place in 1903. The distance they flew on their maiden flight was less than the wingspan of a modern jumbo jet. Aircraft technology since that time has advanced at an extraordinary pace and continues to develop ever more rapidly. Some of the major and most exciting advances in modern technology were first developed as part of aircraft research. But perhaps above all, the sheer thrill of the power, speed, slick lines and superb engineering of today's hi-tech aircraft can hardly fail to capture the imagination of anyone.
