Soar with the Legends of Jet Aviation

Jets changed our ideas about the skies, space and speed forever. Here are the planes and pilots that made it happen, the designers and engineers who created the vision.

Relive man's first daring supersonic flight in the experimental X-1 with Chuck Yeager himself. Put yourself at the edge of outer space as X-15 pilot Pete Knight tells you what it's like to go where no one had flown before. Or go on a dangerous SR-71 Blackbird stealth mission with Rogers Smith. You'll see, hear and learn firsthand about record-setting flights, high flying adventure and harrowing brushes with death. Jets! Interactive Documentary lets you pilot through thrilling chronicles of jet evolution, footage of flying action, animated 3D models, detailed plans and hundreds of full color photos. Jets! even includes the full text of The X Planes by Jay Miller and the acclaimed book Test Pilots by Air Force historian Richard Hallion.

Reviews:

PC Magazine, September 13, 1994

"Could an on-line aviation encyclopedia provide any more that Jets! does? Not unless it included action videos, engine sounds, 500 captioned photos, the texts of two books on aviation history, statistics on some 150 jet aircraft, and 22 three-dimensional animations that let you view aircraft from different angles. Fire up your computer and install one of the video drivers included on the disk and you'll be cleared for takeoff."
