Six Miles Up: The Astonishing Engineering Behind Every Flight

What really happens when an airplane leaves the ground? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the breathtaking engineering that keeps modern commercial jets soaring six miles above the Earth — from the physics of lift and the raw power of jet engines to how aircraft survive lightning strikes at 35,000 feet. It's a story of human ambition, scientific precision, and the quiet daily miracle of flight.
