"In Superfast Jets, early fluent readers will learn about the mechanics, design, engines, and aerodynamics that make jets superfast. Infographics and sidebars present interesting, supplementary information, and an activity offers readers an opportunity to extend discovery. Children can learn more about STEM and jets using our safe search engine that provides relevant, age-appropriate websites. Superfast Jets also features reading tips for teachers...

It is 1943, and thirteen-year-old Michael O'Shaunessey, son of the Irish ambassador to Nazi Germany in Berlin, is also a spy for the British Secret Service, so he has joined the Hitler Youth, and pretending that he agrees with their violence and book-burning is hard enough--but when he is asked to find out more about "Projekt 1065" both his and his parents' lives get a lot more dangerous.

"Fighting Hitler's Jets brings together in a single, character-driven narrative two groups of men at war: on one side, American fighter pilots and others who battled the secret "wonder weapons" with which Adolf Hitler hoped to turn the tide; on the other, the German scientists, engineers, and pilots who created and used these machines of war on the cutting edge of technology. Written by Robert F. Dorr, renowned author of Zenith Press titles Hell Hawks!,...

Places the reader at the controls of a 747 jumbo jet and introduces the principles of aerodynamics while moving step-by-step through preflight checks, takeoff, flight, and landing.

Looks at jet airplanes, examining how they work, the parts they have, how they are used, and some of their history.

This book examines the cockpit, passenger cabin, engine, and other aspects of some of the world's largest jetliners and explains how they have changed over the years from small aircraft to today's jumbo jets.

These paper jets look and fly like the real thing. Follow the easy construction steps, then do test flights and, based upon the results, adjust the glider for straight and level flight at its best speed. Recreate jets shaped for high speed, such as the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, the de Havilland DH-106 Comet, the Airbus A310 and many more.
