The Airbus has landed…
If you’d have told someone two hundred years ago that it would eventually be possible to wake up in Sydney and go to bed in Tokyo you’d have definitely been met with disbelief. For most of us now flying is just part of life, it’s hard to remember sometimes what an amazing invention the Wright Brothers actually came up with all those years ago.
Recently the aeroplane’s newest incarnation was launched – the Airbus 380. The largest passenger jet ever to take to the skies made its first commercial voyage from Singapore to Sydney just last week, and so far has had great reviews – and with full size beds in first class, you’d hope so!
The concept of air travel isn’t quite as thrilling as it was in those early days, but it is still something that is of interest to most of us, and very puzzling. How does something so heavy stay up in the air? Can they fly in reverse? Why is Boeing called Boeing? These are just some of the curious questions floating around on Answers. Also, as exciting as drifting in the sky sounds, it’s not everyone’s idea of fun. Many suffer from a fear of flying and luckily, Answerers have managed to help each other out.
Keep those aeronautical questions coming!
