Classes & Prototype Inheritance

1. Create a class Airplane (or even Aeroplane). Add a constructor that initializes this plane's make (manufacturer) model, speed and altitude.

2. Add a method showPlane() to display these attributes.

3. Instantiate an object of this class, say a Boeing 747, and call its showPlane() method.

4. Create a base class, FlyingVehicle, and have your Airplane extend from it.

   1. Add a constructor.
   2. Refactor your classes to pull the speed and altitude properties up to the base class.
   3. Instantiate a new Airplane, ensuring that both its constructor and the superclass constructor get called.
   4. Add a method to the base class that returns FlyingVehicles speed and altitude as a string. Modify Airplane's 'showPlane() method to use this string in its output.

5. Create a Helicopter class that extends FlyingVehicle.

   1. Instantiate a new Helicopter.
   2. Add a static method to Helicopter that returns an array of flight controls, namely (1) the cyclic, (2) the collective, (3) the anti-torque pedals, and (4) the throttle. Ensure you can return this list without instantiating an object of the class. Can you call it from an instance?
