Mega Machines

As long as planes, trains and automobiles successfully get from here to there, not a second thought is usually given to how that actually occurs. This series unlocks those details, presenting an engineering-focused look at bullet trains, helicopters, cargo planes, roller coasters and more. The series goes inside, under, over, and through iconic machines, revealing how they were built, how they work, how they fail, and how they have evolved. Episodes cover colossal apparatus including the Griffon 12000TD, an all-terrain passenger hovercraft; the Antonov 124, the world's largest production cargo plane; the Airfish 8, a unique passenger vehicle; the S-92 helicopter, an evolution of the legendary Blackhawk military chopper; and the Aprilia RSV4, an advanced superbike.
