How did two world-class pilots coax their glider to a new altitude record? Focus on this feat as a lesson in the key principles of winged flight - including angle of attack, lift, drag, thrust, and weight. Also explore "the miracle on the Hudson," when airline pilot Chesley Sullenberger glided his jet to an emergency water landing. Close your first lesson with an investigation of the control inputs: yaw, roll, and pitch.
