Aviation means the
operation of a heavier-
than-air aircraft. It also
refers to aircraft
manufacture,
development and design.

by BIRDS. It allows the
user to fly by flapping
its wings.

The first passengers are a
sheep, a rooster, and a
duck.
On November 21, 1783 the
first human passengers
managed to fly 8km over
Paris.

another glider which
could carry a young boy.
He made some
adjustments like putting
a tail on to help stabilize
the glider. http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/aircraft/Cayley-

Samuel Langley created
a model plane called an
aerodrome. It had a built
in steam engine which
provided power (thrust)
so that planes will fly
faster and farther.
http://www.physicsandastronomy.pitt.edu/sites/default/files/samuel%20pierpont.jpg
The aerodrome flew 3/4
of a mile before running
out of fuel.
Langley attempted to
make a full-sized one
but it was too heavy so
it crashed.
https://www.timetoast.com/timelines/80330
Otto Lilienthal of
Germany made a glider
that flew longer unlike
Cayley’s which flew
higher.
http://www.robertnovell.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/17442_ottolilienthal.jpg
The gliders he
made were much
like hang gliders
today except with
a larger and more
visible skeleton.

flies more
biplane gliders.

The Wright Brothers
(Orville and Wilbur
Wright) built their
own propeller for the
nose and a motor.
They were the first
humans to fly on a
flyer. http://www.wfmynews2.com/img/resize/content.wfmynews2.com/photo/2016/08/18/wri

After 3 failed
attempts, the first
flight of an object
heavier than air
happened with a
distance of 37m at
Kitty Hawk, North
Carolina, USA

Paul Cornu combined
the design of an
airplane and a bicycle.
His helicopter was
most commonly
characterized as a
flying bicycle. http://bibnum.enc.sorbonne.fr/omeka/files/fullsize/5e421f6e1

Louis Bleriot invented the
first monoplane (plane
with one set of wings
)called Bleriot IX. Bleriot
completed a 36.6km
flight from Calais, France
to Dover, UK, in 37
minutes. http://www.victoriaclarkeadventures.com/uploads/3/8/1/0/3810929/34398

This plane was a flying
machine for a Canadian
Warfare. It first took off
on February 23, 1909
where it only flew half a
mile at 65kmph. But in
August 2, 1909 it
completed a course over https://encrypted-

35km long.

William Wallace Gibson of
created his own biplane
(plane with 2 sets of
wings) with his own
engine. It flew a distance
of 200 feet at a height of
20 feet. https://tce-

French pilot Roland
Garros flew the first
ever fighter plane. The
plane was armed with a
machine gun that shot
through its propeller.

William Boeing
founded the Boeing
Company. Nowadays, it
is one of the
manufacturers of
aircraft and satellites.

Hugo Junkers built the
first all metal plane. The
metal was a lightweight
aluminum alloy called
duralumin.
http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/images/junkers.gif
Air cooled engines reduce
the weight of the airplane
allowing it to travel at
faster speeds and higher
elevations. https://www.timetoast.com/timelines/history-of-aviation--9
In 1925 the Lightweight
air-cooled radial
engines were invented
and with them planes
can be bigger and
faster.
Robert H. Goddard
makes first free
flight of a liquid-
fueled rocket.

In 1930 Frank
Whittle patented
the turbo jet
engine
The jet engine produces
more power than a
normal engine does, so
with jet engines,
airplanes can move
faster.

It is the first model
airliner of the Boeing
Company. It could
carry 10 passengers in
comfort. The Boeing
242 was twin engine
and was completely
metal.
A modern airliner,
Boeing 247, flies
for the first time.
http://www.boeing.com/resources/boeingdotcom/centennial/imag
es/stories/2016/november/247_ready_for_closeup_630x354.jpg
After patenting it 7
years ago, in 1937
Frank Whittle with the
help of Hans Von
Ohain tested the jet
engine.
The Boeing 307 stratoline
was the first fully
pressurized plane. This
allowed it to fly 6.096 km
high. Because it could fly
above the troposphere, it
could avoid rough winds so
the passengers would have
a more comfortable ride.
The Heinkel HE178
from Germany, was
the first fully jet
powered plane.
Charles E. Yeager
pilots Bell X-1—the
first aircraft to exceed
the speed of sound in
level flight.
The prototype of the first
jet powered airliner takes
its first flight. In 1952 it
became a regular
passenger jet giving a
quiet and faster flight.
https://www.timetoast.com/timelines/history-of-airplanes
The Avro Arrow was
meant to be a plane that
could overtake Mach 2(a
unit of speed). In 1959,
the plans were almost
all scraped but some
were still used for other
Mach 2 planes.
The X-15 was created in
1960. It reached the speed
of Mach 6, it was six times
faster than the Bell X-1
which broke the speed
barrier 13 years ago.
The Learjet was the
first small jet to be
mass produced
The Concorde was
the first supersonic
airliner with speeds
that reached double
the speed of sound.
The Boeing 747
conducts its first
flight. It is a wide-
bodied commercial
airline
The Airbus 350 is a
double decker plane.
It is the largest plane
built and had enough
seats for 555 people.
