The Program
World of Flight explores the history, people and technology of aviation. It is divided into four main subjects which are listed on the Content page displayed when starting the program. These subjects are:
The background of the Content and subject area screens show scenes from aviation history, some of which are animated. There is a permanent menu bar across the bottom of the screen which repeats the four main subjects, plus it has buttons for Content, Index and Help. "Content" allows users to get back to this main screen, while "Index" allows them to search for a specific subject and be taken directly to it.
The four subject icons on the Content screen will take users into their particular areas where submenus offer other choices. These submenus lead into more subdivisions. For example, in the At War section, users can then choose between The Great War, WWII, The Jet Age and Deadly Developments. Each of these is then further subdivided. In the Guides section, there are nine experienced guides who tour users through their area of expertise. Some examples of these are the flight instructor, the air traffic controller, the pilot and the mechanic. The information in these sections is good but some of the guides are unnatural and exaggerated. In addition to these guides, each screen has an icon for "Bax Facts" which are short commentaries from Gordon Baxter who is a popular aviation writer.
World of Flight features more than 1,000 photos, 1,000 audio clips, dozens of video clips and more than 700 interactive articles. Users can meet famous aviators, fly with a stunt pilot and explore alternate forms of flight.
