From the Back Cover

BIG STUFF is a series that looks at how the really gargantuan things of the world work. Everything from the physics of flying the largest helicopter to the world's largest ship. BIG STUFF taps everyone's curiosity while teaching a little science, engineering and design along the way.

AN-124 AIRCRAFT - The Russian-made cargo plane named AN-124 is the largest aircraft ever built, at 67 meters long with a wingspan of over 73 meters. Today you can even buy the AN-124 yourself, for only a cool $20 million.

O'HARE INT'L AIRPORT - Chicago's O'Hare is the commercial aviation capital of the world. It handles 180,000 passengers each day and 67 million people every year. The airport covers 7,700 acres with enough gates to handle 162 aircraft at a time.

S-64 SKY CRANE - From the first time you see it, it is clear that the S-64 "Air Crane" is no ordinary helicopter. With 25,000 pounds of lifting capacity, it could easily lift and fly with 14 conventional helicopters hanging from its lines.

AIRCRANE 5 - The newest and largest commercial rocket is built in France. More than 50 meters tall and weighing in at 750 tons at liftoff, this powerhouse is able to carry nearly 20 tons into low Earth orbit.
