Have you ever wondered how a dinosaur would measure up against the Great Pyramids of Giza, if a hummingbird could outfly a jet plane, or how many atoms could fit inside a grain of sand? These are just
William Bee is back and this time he's showing us his amazing collection of trains, boats, planes and more. There's his harrier jump jet, which can take off vertically, his World War I fighter plane t
With sturdy flaps to lift on every page, little ones can have hands-on fun finding out about what goes on at the airport. Young readers will enjoy opening doors, recognising each familiar machine from the self check-in desk to the big jumbo jet and finding out what all the different people at the airport do. Meet a pilot, a technician and an air traffic control marshal, watch a plane being repaired in a hangar and find out all the tools each person needs to do their job.
From an old-fashioned biplane taking off to a helicopter flying over a canyon, there are all kinds of exciting flying machines to discover in this novelty book... and when you press the button on each page you can hear each one and switch on its lights. The charmingly illustrated animal pilots are shown landing a sea plane on the water, guiding a jet airliner through the clouds and wowing the crowds with a spectacular acrobatic display at the end.

Both propeller-driven and jet-engine airplanes are shown in detail. Kids also discover the principles that allow a heavy airplane to rise and remain in the air, and to maneuver, climb, dive, and come
Each plane is shown by itself on a white page, most from below; a few images occupy multiple pages afforded by foldouts, and a few are shown from the side. These color photos by Milstein, showcased in
The same team that brought you Where Do Diggers Sleep at Night? and Where Do Steam Trains Sleep at Night? have created another high-flying bedtime story—this one for plane enthusiasts!Have you ever wo
Fold and fly 100 fully coloured paper jet planes - each one its own unique design. This book contains 100 tear-out sheets with guidelines to help you fold, clear, step-by-step instructions for making each type of plane and lots of flying tips.
This 1961 book presents a concise and systematic treatment of two-dimensional subsonic, inviscid fluid motion and its aeronautical applications. Part I surveys the relevant fluid dynamics, assuming only a basic knowledge of the topic. In Part II, the methods of conformal mapping and Cauchy integrals are developed, on the assumption that the reader has only an elementary understanding of complex variable theory; this will be of interest to a wide range of applied mathematicians and engineers. In Part III, the methods are applied to several problems in fluid mechanics and aero dynamics. The text provides an extensive account of mixed boundary-value problems and treats such examples of these problems as occur in ventilated wind-tunnel theory, jet-flap theory and unsteady Hemholtz motions.
