To put the science into its social context, the author describes (with many illustrations) the history of human attempts to fly and discusses the outlook for future developments, as well as the social impact of commercial aviation.

By the toss of a coin on December 14, 1903, Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) won the first turn at piloting the powered airplane he had built with his brother Orville (1871-1948). The weather was beautiful, but the wind seemed insufficient for the Wright . to start from the 9° slope of the d

Commercial airliners fly considerably below this height at roughly 30,000 to 50,000 ft (9 to 15 km), with the supersonic Concorde going to abo
