*OLD WAYS OF TRANSPORTATION*
Some of the old ways of transportation were slow but
good and the steam engine helped speed up the transportation process. A lot of
people would use animals for work or transportation. If they couldn't afford animals, they would do the
physical work themselves or travel by foot for transportation.
*In the past, there were different means of transportation, and one of them was the automobile.
So, Who invented the first airplane?
The inventors of the first airplane were Orville and Wilbur Wright. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first successful experiment in which a machine (aka airplane) carrying a man rose by its own power, flew naturally and at even speed, and descended without damage.
What is an airplane?
*An airplane by definition is an aircraft that has a fixed wing and is powered by propellers or jets.
Before the Wright Brothers - History of Flight
Before the first airplane was invented by the Wright Brothers, inventors made
numerous attemps.to made they can fly like the birds. *These early inventions included kites, hot air balloons, airships, gliders, and other devices. |
Post Propeller - Jet Airplane Technology.
Inventors continued to improve airplanes after the Wright Brothers, and this led to the invention of jets, which are used by both the military and commercial airlines. A jet is an airplane propelled by jet engines. Jets fly much faster than propeller-powered aircraft and at higher altitudes - as high as 10,000 to 15,000 meters (about 33,000 to 49,000 ft).
Two engineers, Frank Whittle of the United Kingdom and Hans von Ohain of
Germany, developed the jet engine during the late 1930s.
