Click on each part of the "Runway of History" to learn about the elements of flight. This will teach you what you need to know to keep a plane at a steady speed and altitude in the air. Once you have learned about each element you can then test your knowledge of flight and see if you can keep your own plane in the air. To do this, click on "Formula 1 Flying" in the lower right frame of any page. Or, if your browser is not capable of displaying frames, scroll to the bottom of any page and click on "Formula 1 Flying." Good luck, pilot!

The Future
To Infinity and Beyond!
Nobody knows what the future of aviation will hold. But many people have theories and ideas of what is yet to come. What to you think a plane of the future would look like? Design your own futuristic plane and email it to us and we will post it here, where you can view yours and other people's ideas of futuristic flight. All pictures must be scanned in (if drawn by hand) and sent as an attachment to the address above.
Here are some scientists' ideas about the future of flight:
- Autodynamics - "Where special relativity leaves off." A page about travelling faster than the speed of light
- NASA - National Air and Space Association - The people who put the first man on the moon have their own ideas about the future of flight, especially space travel
