MegaWorld: France explores that country's cutting-edge contributions transforming science in the air, on the sea and on land. Highlights include the construction of the massive "wingbox" at the heart of the new Airbus - the largest passenger plane in the world, the French Navy's specialized dive team, and the NH90 Eurocopter, the world's first fly-by-wire helicopter. Also see the Ariane 5 rocket, the strongest rocket on the planet, and the Paul Ricard Race Track, where F1 drivers learn to drive to the max without killing themselves.
