Ready to fly - Episode 2: "Getting ready for take-off"

History

The captain has just announced the aircraft's imminent takeoff. The engines begin to thrum and Alexis' torture is about to begin. He asks Inès how such a heavy machine can possibly achieve what is, to him, the impossible feat of taking off and not dropping out of the sky. This is Inès' cue to explain the role of the engines, nacelles and landing gear, as the plane takes off.
