The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is goning through test fights in the air ,the test pilot must find out exactly what happena when the engines are all shut off at once , the plane begins to fall like a stone it is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plan again , these two tests are examples of how
planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers
