Sommario/riassunto

From the ground, piloting a fighter jet seems thrilling, but it also requires a lot of training and body conditioning. Readers' awe for aeronautical acrobatics will only increase as they learn about the forces at work to keep a fighter jet aloft. They'll also learn about g-forces, ejection seats, and incredible speeds that future fighter jets may achieve. Exhilarating images, stimulating STEM concepts, and fascinating fact boxes make this high-interest volume a fun and motivating experience.
