The landing
Airplanes have come a long way from what they used to be; wood to metal, gasoline engines to turbofan engines. Before reading this, you may have thought the engine, wings, and cockpit were the most important things in a plane; but from reading this you know there is so much more, like how the elevators control whether the plane goes up or down. Or how the parts of the plane, ailerons and the rudder, control the direction of a plane. Next time you travel by plane, you'll know what goes into making a plane fly, see you in the skies!.
