Squeak's First Flight! | The Science of Flying | SciShow Kids

The video follows Squeaks and Jesse as they prepare for a trip to the Robot Hall of Fame. It explains airplane travel, including airport procedures, airplane mechanics like thrust and lift, and compares animal flight. The video also explores wind patterns and their effects, and introduces the extinct Quetzalcoatlus, explaining how paleontologists study ancient life.
