About this audiobook
There are thousands of planes above your head right now, but how do we keep track of all of them at the same time?
Take yourself to virtual flight school and learn all about how planes fly, how we breathe on airplanes, and the technology behind hypersonic travel and how we’re able to fly faster than the speed of sound. You’ll also explore the world of aviation, from the Wright Brothers’ first flight to the future of airplanes in this bite-sized collection from Seeker, available for the first time in audio.
