At any given time, extreme aircraft are flying above us, transporting people, fighting wars, and keeping our world safe. This text takes readers into the world of extreme airborne machines, covering such equipment as Boeing 777, the Airbus A380, The Globemaster, and more. Readers learn what aircraft are and understand how they assist extreme task forces and the military in carrying out their duties. The text also explores the lighter side of aircraft by learning about commercial passenger aircraft machines. Readers will gain an understanding of how technology and engineering--subjects covered in elementary curricula--are put to use in the real world. Sidebars, fact boxes, and colorful photographs complete the learning experience.
