Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In this engaging and informative approach to learning about modern aircraft, readers take a look inside all the advances in military aircraft technology since World War II, including fighter planes from the United States, NATO, Russia, and more. With detailed diagrams of cockpits, engines, and weapons systems, this book gives readers an up-close and personal view of several impressive aircraft, including the F-15E Strike Eagle, which can travel at over 1,900 miles per hour. This is more than twice the speed of sound. Detailed visuals and accessible text offer opportunities to explore both social studies and STEM concepts through this high-interest subject matter.
Describes ten contemporary military airplanes, from the Mirage F1 to the F35 Lightning II, including American, European, and Soviet aircraft, and discusses their technological innovations, military use, and inner structure.
