Page 1Have you ever seen a big airplane in the sky? It is up so high, like a little bird far away! But wait — airplanes are very, very heavy. So how do they stay up in the air?
Page 2An airplane is a bit like a giant metal bird. It has two long wings, one on each side. Those wings are the secret to flying!
