Have you ever noticed that every air traffic control tower has angled windows? Windows in these towers have to be angled at precisely 15 degrees to decrease reflections and glare.<\/li>\n<li>If you think there\u2019s more aircraft turbulence today than in the past \u2013 you\u2019re right.

Mercury can do huge amounts of damage to aluminum very quickly. Most modern aircraft are made primarily from aluminum.<\/li>\n<li>Modern aircraft are about 70% more fuel efficient than they were in the 1960\u2019s. This is largely due to innovations in engine and propeller design, as well as investments in lighter materials that reduce aircraft weight.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think you know everything there is to know about modern flight?
