Facts About Airplanes (Aeroplane)

The first in-flight movie was shown in 1921 on an Aeromarine Airways flight over Chicago. Passengers watched “Howdy Chicago,” a short promotional film about the city!

The oxygen masks in airplanes provide about 20 minutes of oxygen — which is plenty of time for the pilot to descend to a safe altitude where everyone can breathe normally!

Airplane engines are tested against bird strikes by launching bird carcasses (not frozen) at high speeds to make sure they can handle real-life bird collisions safely!
