Synopsis
How does a jumbo jet weighing 350 tonnes and carrying 500 people stay in the air? How does a hummingbird hover over a flower with pinpoint precision? Decode the mysteries and discover the scientific facts about natural flight and human aviation. Follow the history of flying from the many disastrous attempts to soar, to the creation of a supersonic airliner that flies faster than sound, and discover the techniques of nature's most skilled flyers from the prehistoric pterosaur, to the long distance albatross.
