Get ready to soar through the skies as Mighty Planes takes you on a journey through the most iconic aircraft in history. From military jets to commercial airliners, witness the power and beauty of these incredible planes.

The series features the fascinating stories of three of the most important commercial aircraft ever to take to the skies.

As passengers, every time we board an aeroplane, we place our trust in the pilot, airline and the aircraft manufacturer and while flying remains the safest form of travel, accidents still happen. 'Plane Crash Recreated' will explain and investigate the world's most infamous plane crashes. Using survivor stories, expert interviews and black-box data, we will experience the final harrowing moments on board these notorious flights. But could the outcome have been different? Using a team of highly skilled test pilots and our own cutting edge flight simulator, we show you the extreme pressure inside the cockpit. When faced with failure, our military, commercial, aerobatic and test-pilots will need to make split-second life-or-death decisions. How will their vastly different training affect their outcome? And with the benefit of hindsight, what would they do differently?

Discover the challenges and espionage behind the race to build the first supersonic airliner.
