Question: what do you mean, you could be able to fly through different environments?

Hi Rosie,

You may think of the environment as the whole world, the skies and everything natural (which we need to protect). When I talk about the environment I mean the outdoor conditions in a particular area. For example in a desert, the local environment is very sandy, very hot and very dry. In a rainforest the local environment is still hot but very wet and rainy. In a weird way our global environment is built up out of lots of different local environments! Environment is a word which can mean slightly different things depending on how you use it, English is silly like that sometimes.

The helicopter equipment that I’m testing has to work in all these different local environments as it could fly in any of them, and that’s what I mean when I say it could fly through different environments. I hope that clears things up!
