Aviation. Flight infographics
An illustrated history of humanity's most ambitious enterprise: from the first aircraft and simple gliders to modern supersonic aircraft and hypersonic missiles. Original infographics and great photos clearly explain complex technical issues. What physical forces act on the aircraft, what design solutions allowed pilots to set records, which military aircraft showed the greatest effectiveness in battles or in reconnaissance, how passenger flights became comfortable and safe ... Everything you need to know about flying, in an accessible and fascinating form. "Fascinating reading, from the first page to the last. I took for granted the fact that planes fly, and never thought about the complex interaction of forces that keep them in the air. In this book everything is explained in a simple and understandable way… I love infographics, and there is a lot of it here, and such that I want to study it carefully. You will find diagrams on topics that you never even thought of thinking about, from the formation of end vortices to the rate of climb of various military aircraft." (Robin Brooks, geekdad.com )
