Take off: More aerial science
Eggs
The payload
If you're more interested in our test pilots than the vehicles, take time out with our egg secrets.
Moving objects from A to B has always been a challenge to mankind - and here on Open2. Here's a few ways people have tried to transport things through the sky - and some projects for you to try, too:
Dennis The Menace's approach
Catapults can lob heavy weights surprising distances. See how they work and build your own scale model mangonel.
Look good on paper
Adam Hart-Davis and the Science Shack crew attempt to construct a massive paper balloon.
Test your bottle
Faced with a similar challenge in Death Valley, the Rough Science team launched a fizzy drink bottle rocket.
Try some hot air
To float their camera above the desert in California, the Rough Science team inflated a home-made aerial surveyor.
The power of hydrogen
Asked to deliver a photo across a gully, our Rough Scientists share their airmail plans in their video diaries.
Birds do it
Adam Hart-Davis shows you how you can make your own flapping flying machine with our ornithopter plans.
Bees do it
You could wait and see if you evolve the power of flight - after all, invertebrates have no problem claiming mastery of the air.
And, if money is no object...
