Airplane change the world

“Not a single human being had ever flown a powered aircraft when the 20th century began”(Airplane. N.P.). The flying was a dream for millions of people. The first flight was "12 seconds and carried one man 120 feet." Today there are more then 1000 airplanes flying in the sky and nonstop flights lasting from 15 to 19 hours carry hundreds of people. In the begging of airplane, the entire world uses the airplane in every thing, traveling, transport of goods and in the war. (Airplane - Greatest Engineering Achievements of the Twentieth Century. N.P.)

“Bonfires and beacons showed the way for early tentative transcontinental flights in the 1920s.”(Airplane. N.P.) “Now complex computerized systems of navigation and air traffic control manage skies filled with as many as 50,000 planes a day over the United States.” (Airplane. N.P.) The airplane changed the world forever, not only in the army but in the business also. Now the plane takes a few hours to traveling to different continent and different ocean, “the globe has grown small indeed, and propelling virtually every one of aviation's great leaps.” (Airplane. N.P.) The first plane was hard to the human controlling it in a sustained flight, presented a number of distinct engineering problems: structural, aerodynamic, control, and propulsion. “As the 19th century came to a close, researchers on both sides of the Atlantic were tinkering their way to solutions”. ("Airplane History Part 1 - Early Years - Greatest Engineering Achievements of the Twentieth Century. N.P)

Orville and Wilbur Wright the first brothers who make the first airplane and flying more than 1 hour, they learned much from "Paris-born Chicago engineer Octave Chanute. In 1894."(Airplane Timeline. N.P) “The brothers also benefited from the work during the 1890s of Otto Lilienthal, a German inventor who had designed and flown several different glider models”. “Lilienthal, and some others, had crafted wings that were curved, or cambered, on top and flat underneath, a shape that created lift by decreasing the air pressure over the top of the wing and increasing the air pressure on the bottom of the wing. By experimenting with some Airplane in the wind tunnel, the Wrights took care on the cambered wings and then studied such factors as wing design.

("Airplane Timeline - Greatest Engineering Achievements of the Twentieth Century." N.P.)

“In1901s, first successful flying model propelled by an internal combustion engine” (Airplane Timeline. N.P) Samuel Pierpont Langley builds a gasoline in 1896s. "In 1903s, first flight with a powered. “Wilbur covers 852 feet over the ground in 59 seconds”. In 1905 they introduce the Flyer, the first actual airplane in the world. “In 1910s, first take off from a ship”. Eugene Ely pilots a Curtiss biplane on the first flight. “In January 1911 he takes off from shore and lands on a ship anchored off the coast of California”. “In 1914s Automatic gyrostabilizer leads to first automatic pilot”. After tow years, "Sperry and his inventor father, Elmer, add a steering gyroscope to the stabilizer gyro and demonstrate the first automatic pilot."(Airplane Timeline. N.P) “In 1918s, Airmail service inaugurated” on February 22, 1920, the first transcontinental mail arrives in New York from San Francisco in 33 hours, about 3 days faster than mail delivery by train. “In 1927s, first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic" On May 21, Charles Lindbergh completes the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic."(Airplane Timeline. N.P) At 2,400 miles it is the longest on the sea with about non stops flight to date. ("Airplane Timeline - Greatest Engineering Achievements of the Twentieth Century.")

In the end the flying was a dream for millions of people. But now its true and every one use it to travel, send the goods to different countries, and use the plane in the war. The airplane is the biggest and important transportation in the world Which helped safely to the development the community at this time, which has transferred the whole world a quantum leap as it worked to shorten the distances between people in different places around the world. However, the only negatives of the aircraft we observe in the wars with it may also be positive in the wars in some cases, but in the World War, for example, significantly contributed to the killing of millions of people in the world, but this is only simple part compared with the positives things, as It has helped to saving the lives of millions of people around the world also. The airplanes and many other roles in various operations such as fire fighting, as the aircraft used is very large for the rapid transport of water to the fire, switch it off place as quickly as possible without endangering people's lives at risk during this process most of the fire-fighting operations rely at most on aircraft to carry out this operation, in addition to search and rescue operations, which hugely are using aircraft and this because they tool up fast and accurate search for the missing and at risk. Moreover, It also contributed safely to the development the business process at the global level as it is which is very large is the transport of goods between all countries of the world and in amount too large work forces less, and without fear of the dangers that were facing the people when the transport of goods by road as in the past from the predators and other hazards. So we can forget this history and what Orville and Wilbur Wright did for the world.
