The planes most of us know best are those that carry us from our local airports to the rest of the world.
Because few runways existed before World War II, mass air transportion was not practical. It was only
with the construction of a massive complex of airports during that conflict and the development of jet
engines capable of transporting passengers across oceans in a few short hours that civil aviation came into
its own. Today's jetliners are the result of constant improvements in engine efficiency, noise reduction,
and aerodynamics that continue to make air travel safer and more cost effective.
