 * Description:** The principles of Aeronautics are very difficult to understand at a conceptual level so any assistance in this area is always gratefully appreciated. The resources provided by the site are interactive, multimedia and wonderfully animated in many instances. If you are teaching flight, flying, or Aeronautics then this is an excellent website together with resources and ideas for the classroom.

 * Description:** This is a virtual museum of pioneering aviation based on the premise that the Wright brothers were indeed the first to conquer powered flight (there are claims from England and New Zealand to this title also). This excellent museum provides a fascinating history of the development of powered flight and the extraordinary risks that pilots and engineers took in order to try out their theoretical ideas.

 * Description:** Even though I fully understand the physics and the engineering of flight I am always amazed that the plane every gets off the ground! This web site just adds to the intrigue! Excellent explanation of how aeroplanes fly, balloons float and how space craft stay in orbit.
