520    Why Don't Jumbo Jets Flap Their Wings? offers a 
       fascinating explanation of how nature and human engineers 
       each arrived at powered flight. What emerges is a highly 
       readable account of two very different approaches to 
       solving the same fundamental problems of moving through 
       the air, including lift, thrust, turning, and landing. The
       book traces the evolutionary process of animal flight-in 
       birds, bats, and insects-over millions of years and 
       compares it to the directed efforts of human beings to 
       create the aircraft over the course of a single century.
