Bad Altitude

Even though commercial aviation is over a century old, the most experienced airline passengers still have difficulty fully explaining how massive aircraft stay aloft. Many have heard the physics of it and they accept the reality of it. However, few flyers are comfortable reconciling these things at 36,000 feet. This book chronicles the author's diverse and unusual experiences on private, commercial and military aircraft all in the pursuit of exploring the principles of heavier-than-air flight.
