More About aeronautics

A long time ago, people dreamed of flying. They made the first plane in 1903. It was small and flew for a short time. Now, we have big planes that can take many people far away.

Every day, planes help us go to school or visit family. They fly high in the sky. We can see clouds and the sun from up there!

In the future, we may have flying cars! That would be cool. We can fly to places fast and easy.
