Description
Whether we love it or hate it, millions of us fly every day - but very few of us really understand how it works. Who hasn't looked out of a plane window and thought, " How are we actually staying up here ? " the flying book will surprise, reassure and entertain anyone who's ever taken to the skies, and reveals ( among other things ) :
- How a plane gets airborne ( It's not what you were taught at school )
- That there's no such thing as an air pocket
- Why the captain and co - pilot always eat different meals during a flight
- Whether all the stories about DVT are true
- Why pilots aren't allowed to have beards
- That flying rely is the safest form of transport ever ( apart from the lift )
- And, why it is a very bad idea to flush the plane toilet while you're sitting on it
