Aviation Feature Writer: Helen Krasner

Do you love aeroplanes...or airplanes? Then you've come to the right place. Here you'll find articles on all types, from the Cessna 152 to the Eclipse 400 Very Light Jet. Or perhaps you prefer helicopters; if so take a look at the Robinson R22, the Bell 206 JetRanger, or find out about building one - the Rotorway Exec 162F.

Maybe you're a pilot, or thinking of learning to fly. Then read about flying training, from How to Choose a Flying School to advice on your Trial Lesson to How to Hover a Helicopter.

If you're interested in how aeroplanes actually work, see Aerospace Engineering. Or if you prefer the History of Aviation, you'll enjoy our articles on UK aviatrix Amy Johnson, or World War II test pilot Hanna Reitsch.

Whatever aspect of aviation is for you, enjoy!
