Every child looks up when a plane draws its white line overhead. This book hands them the answer.
Written in plain, friendly language for readers ages 8-12, How Planes Work for Kids takes young readers under the skin of an airliner and into the cockpit, one big idea at a time - from the Wright brothers' twelve seconds to the quiet electric aircraft of tomorrow.
Inside, curious kids will discover:
- 20 big, colorful cutaway pictures - wings, engines, cockpits, and airports, sliced open and labeled like a modern textbook
- The secret of lift - the four forces of flight, felt with your own hand out a car window
- Jet engines explained in four words - suck, squeeze, bang, blow, with the giant fan's quiet trick revealed
- Takeoffs and landings - V1, rotation, the flare, and why crews love checklists more than memory
- The cockpit - the six classic instruments every pilot reads, and the screens that replaced them
- Turbulence, told honestly - the jelly explanation that ends the fear, plus storms, ice, and lightning
- Airports from above - runways you can read by number, radar rooms, and the invisible highway
- Helicopters, gliders, and drones - the rest of the sky's family, plus Concorde and the sound barrier
- Hands-on experiments - a paper-plane test lab, a straw rocket, and Bernoulli tricks with a strip of paper
- Every quiz answered - a full Answer Hangar, 34 real kid questions, a big dictionary, and a fill-in Flight Log page
Perfect for young aviators, future pilots, plane spotters, STEM gifts for boys and girls, and every kid who has ever asked how do planes stay up? at 10,000 meters.
