Subtitles? Start video, click on "YouTube", switch on Subtitles and switch to English Language there!

Watch the video The Kid and the Kite (1995). It is about the fascination of aerospace from an industrial perspective. The video is international as it works without words. Interesting is also the philosophical trailer. What do you think about it? Do you think industry can live up these statements in reality?

Start to Learn with this Hotspot Picture

Get started with Aircraft Design by learning about the main parts of an aircraft.
Click on (+) to get a Definition of the related aircraft component and follow the links to Wikipedia and NASA to learn more.
Click on the Hotspot (+) which is up in the air in the picture for an Introduction!!!
Look at NASA's Overview of Aircraft Parts.
The picture shows an Emirates Airbus A340-300 (source).
