History of Aircraft

Aircraft heavier than air was first flown by the Wright Brothers (Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright) using its own aircraft design called the Flyer, which was launched in 1903 in the United States. In addition to the Wright brothers, there were several other aircraft inventor who invented airplanes include Samuel F Cody who perform the action on the field Fanborough, England in 1910. As for the aircraft that is lighter than air flight was much earlier. First flight using a hot air balloon found a French berkebangsaaan named Joseph Montgolfier Montgolfier and Etiene occurred in 1782, then refined a German named Ferdinand von Zeppelin by modifying the cigar-shaped balloon that is used to carry passengers and goods in 1900.

In the following year balloon Zeppelin mengusai air freight to ship disaster Zeppelin on trans-Atlantic trip in New Jersey 1936 which marked the end of an era Zeppelin though still used before World War II. After Wright era, many aircraft are modified both designs, shapes and aircraft engines to meet the transportation needs of larger commercial udara.Pesawat made in 1949 named Bristol Brabazon.Sampai now the world's largest passenger plane made by Airbus industrie of European A380.

The first aircraft made by Otto Lilienthal, he was a young German. began when he saw an eagle fly, then he tried to make the plane with at kepakkan Lilienthal. He made 18 airplane kite but unfortunately he died in 1896 due to a plane crash.

Then the Wright brothers (Wright brothers), Orville (19 August 1871-30 January 1948) and Wilbur (16 April 1867-30 May 1912) are two Americans who are noted as the inventor of airplanes as they managed to build the first aircraft was successfully flown and controlled by man on December 17, 1903, named Flyer.

Two years after their discovery, the two brothers developed a 'flying machine' them to form aircraft taking wing as we now know it. Although they were not the first to make trial or experiment aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that aircraft with wing-mounted rigid control. The greatest breakthrough was the invention of "three axis control 'which is used by all aircraft flying today.

They gained the mechanical skills of working in their shop filled with printing presses, bicycles, motors, and other machinery. From bikes they got the idea that an unstable aircraft can be controlled with exercise. The Wright brothers were two of seven brothers. In elementary school, Orville been expelled from school.

In 1878, their father bought 'helicopter' toys for their two youngest children are. Toys were made of bamboo and rubber propeller to rotate it. Wilbur and Orville played it to break, and then make their own toys, they admitted that the experience of playing with a bamboo helicopter became the source for their interest in a machine that can fly.
