- S2 O3 - First Jets4 grudnia 199126 minWhen jet engines appeared, a whole new set of problems appeared with them. For pilots, the early jets were a nightmare. Trained to fly propeller aircraft, pilots found themselves in need of drastic changes in technique.To wideo jest obecnie niedostępne.
- S2 O4 - Airliners: Passengers Join The Jet Age11 marca 199222 minWW2 aviation advances such as hard runways, large long range aircraft and cabin pressurization set the stage for growing passenger transport after the war. Soon jets slashed travel times and brought unheard of growth in mass transportation.To wideo jest obecnie niedostępne.
- S2 O5 - The Big Bombers18 marca 199222 minDevelopment of jet engines and the tensions of the Cold War pushed development of long-range bombers that could fly around the world. While designers grappled with structural challenges, pilots struggled with the complexity of flying gigantic machines.To wideo jest obecnie niedostępne.
- S2 O6 - Jet Fighters: Wings Of Lightening25 marca 199222 minThe U.S. and Russia rivalry developed jet fighters with fantastic speeds and high tech weapons. Computers were unseen co-pilot and some fighters only fired guided missiles. Before long a new generation of highly maneuverable dog-fighting jets was needed.To wideo jest obecnie niedostępne.

- S2 O12 - Experiments In Flight3 czerwca 199222 minChuck Yeager's X-1 flight through the "sound barrier" set the stage for the U.S. experimental X-program, a systematic exploration of fresh ideas in aviation. Pilots flew at the cutting edge of technology in untried, untested, and unknown aircraft.To wideo jest obecnie niedostępne.
- S2 O13 - Rocket Aircraft10 czerwca 199222 minIn the 1920s, aircraft designers began searching for ways to incorporate the powerful propulsion of rockets into their flying machines. Efforts to harness and control rocket propulsion resulted in many failures but also some dramatic successes.To wideo jest obecnie niedostępne.
