Week Four Independent Reading

This week I read more of Tom Clancy's Patriot games. In the portion that I read Jack and his family go back to America on a Concorde jet. I thought that the scientific things about the plane were pretty interesting. when at it's cruising speed of thirteen hundred fifty-five miles per hour, at an altitude of fifty-nine thousand feet, the air outside was negative sixty degrees Celsius while the aircraft skin was one hundred degrees Celsius. because of all of these factors the plane becomes eleven inches longer than it is on ground.
