The Super Explorers want to show you the planes of the world, from biplanes and passenger jets to stealth aircraft and drones.

• The Gossamer Albatross is powered by a person pedaling a bike

• Some water bombers can scoop up water from big lakes to put out fires

• The Harrier Jump Jet can take off and land vertically so it does not need a runway

• The Concorde supersonic passenger jet could fly more than twice the speed of sound

• SpaceShipOne was a rocket-powered plane that could fly in space above the Earth’s atmosphere.
