How Ideas About Its Aerodynamics First Came Together And How The Science And Technology Evolved To Forge The Airplane Into The Revolutionary Machine It Became Is The Epic Story James R. Hansen Tells In The Bird Is On The Wing. Just As The Airplane Is A Defining Technology Of The Twentieth Century, Aerodynamics Has Been The Defining Element Of The Airplane.Hansen Provides An Engaging, Easily Understandable Introduction To The Role Of Aerodynamics In The Design Of Such Historic American Aircraft As The Dc3, X1, And 747. Recognizing The Impact Individuals Have Had On The Development Of The Field, He Conveys Not Only A History Of Aircraft Technology, But Also A Collective Biography Of The Scientists, Engineers, And Designers Who Created The Airplanes.From Da Vinci, Whose Understanding Of What It Took To Fly Was Three Centuries Too Early For Practical Use, To The Invention Of The Airplane By The Wright Brothers, Hansen Explores The Technological Matrix From Which Aeronautical Engineering Emerged.
