    The Bell X-1 was extremely fast—it was the first plane to fly faster than the speed of sound. The B-29 was extremely dangerous—it carried 20,000 pounds of bombs. The Airbus A-380 is extremely long—twice as long as a basketball court. The space shuttle flies extremely high—it orbits the earth 250 miles above the ground. Open Extreme Aircraft! Q&A to discover how far the first airplane flew, what a barnstormer did, and what keeps an airplane up in the air.
