AERO PLANES

MADE BY HASNAIN UDDIN

THE FIRST AIR CRAFT

• After collecting reference material from the Smithsonian and other sources,
the Wright brothers began studying their predecessors. They were surprised to
learn that, despite humanity’s centuries-old interest in flight, little progress
had been made in aeronautics before 1800. Until that time, few trained
scientists or mechanics thought it a sensible undertaking.
 
During the 1800s, however, a community of technically trained people
interested in flight had evolved. They had amassed a body of aeronautical
knowledge that represented the first real steps toward achieving human flight.

EVOLUTION OF AIRCRAFT

Powered flight began over 100 years ago in 1903. Technology and aircraft design
have, of course, changed a considerable amount since then. Early changes saw
the perfection of the techniques and methods of flights. These then moved
to improve designs to meet changing trends and demands and to focus
on profitability and efficiency. Going forward, this will likely continue, but with an
even greener angle.
In this article, we take a look at the key moments and events in the development of
the airplane. There are lots of things to discuss, and we can't cover everything, but we
will choose some of the most significant.
