Description
For teens who want to understand how aircraft fly and spacecraft work, start with the decisions behind the machines.
Knowing the names of the parts is one thing. Seeing why engineers choose them is another. This introduction follows a fictional observation mission to explain forces, propulsion, orbit, and the compromises that connect a vehicle to its job.
Inside this book, readers will:
Connect lift, thrust, weight, and drag to what an aircraft does. Understand why reaching space is different from staying in orbit. Follow how a satellite powers its instruments, points them, and returns data to Earth. Compare choices in a paper mission challenge with stated budgets and explained answers. For curious high school readers who enjoy asking why a design works, and what would make it fail. This paperback uses a black-and-white interior. The mission challenge stays on paper; it is not a guide to building or launching hardware.
