008: Engines and Systems

When most people see an airplane, the wings and engine are the most obvious thing they see that makes it fly. What they dont see, are all of the other things that have to work along with that engine, not only to provide the needed thrust for flight, but the electricity for lights and navigation, heat for the cabin and defrost and others. There is also the landing gear, flight controls and other systems that need to be understood to keep your flight safe.
