How transport planes fly

The book is intended for all those who are interested in aircraft and want to learn everything essential about their operation

For all those who are fascinated by them and amazed that a machine weighing around 400 tons can take to the air and sail through the sky at speeds of over 800 km/h. And it's tailor-made for passengers for whom a flight is not just the fastest way to get from one place to another, but who want to know more about the aircraft, want to see inside the cockpit and ask a lot of questions, such as: Why are we so high now? We're not gonna collide with another plane? What does the dashboard look like? What happens when the engine suddenly dies? How much fuel does the plane use? What if we get caught in a storm? What is autopilot? What are the lights on the runway for? etc.

An experienced transport aircraft pilot answers, the text is accompanied by numerous colour photographs and diagrams.
