INTRODUCTION

Have you ever wondered how a plane stays in the air even when it weighs thousands of pounds?  Have you ever looked at birds in flight and pondered how they manage to fly when we can't? You would not be the first to ever wonder about these things. 

From the beginning of time people have wondered  how things fly.  Primitive people wondered why birds and animals could fly.  Over time our ancestors examined these things and quickly understood that if we were to study the principles of flight we might be able to fly also.

In this Quest, you will explore many of these principles of flight.

As you and your partner work through this Quest you will become experts in the science of flight.
