Flying is a miracle. Most of us never think about the science and mechanics that go into flying or the fact that we still don’t really understand how planes stay in the air. As Scientific American explained, “On a strictly mathematical level, engineers know how to design planes that will stay aloft. But equations don’t explain why aerodynamic lift occurs.” So the fact that you get to sit in a metal tube that flies hundreds of miles per hour all the way across the world should leave you in awe....
