Aviation

In 1899 the Wright brothers constructed and launched a series of gliders to test the manoeuvrability of a manned aircraft. Then on December 17, 1903, powered flight was first achieved when over the course of the day both Orville and Wilbur piloted successful flights, the longest lasting 59 seconds and covering over 850 feet. Around the same time the Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, was experimenting with powered flight and in 1909 he won a £1,000 prize offered by a newspaper for the first powered aircraft to make a crossing from France to England. #aviation #aircraft #fly

The First World War

The First World War gave aviation technology a boost: at the start France, for example, had only 140 aircraft, and only four years later she had 4,500. In 1914 airplanes were regarded as useful only for reconnaissance; by the end of the war Britain had the Handley-Page bomber capable of carrying a 900 kg bomb load and Germany had the Fokker D VII, widely considered the best fighter of the era. #fly #pilot #aviation

Jet Fighter

The first operational jet fighter was the Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe, but Germany did not have it ready for use until 1944. One significant development of the Second World War was the use of aircraft carriers, especially in the war in the Pacific Ocean: at the start of the war Japan had 10 carriers and America had 7. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which brought America into the war, was carried out by fighters, bombers and torpedo planes launched from six aircraft carriers. #aircraft #aviation

Concorde

Experiments with supersonic flight were made during World War 2, but the first plane recorded as flying faster than the speed of sound was the American Bell X-1 rocket plane in 1947. Most modern fighter aircraft are supersonic, but there are no supersonic passenger airplanes in service since the retirement of the Anglo-French Concorde in 2003. Today, as technology has evolved, the war airplanes are absolutely stunning and geek.hr website has made a list of the ten deadliest fighter jets in the world. #concorde #fast #sky

Boeing

The first scheduled service between the USA and Europe opened in 1939 with the Boeing 314 Flying Boat, and the first jet passenger service across the Atlantic followed in 1958 when Pan American used the Boeing 707 on the New York to Paris run. The “jumbo jet” era started in 1970 with the Boeing 747, two and a half times the size of the 707, with its recognisable two-deck hump shape. Later versions of the Boeing 747 jumbo can carry 524 passengers. #cockpit #view #sunset #control
