The history of aviation begins with Leonardo davinci's thoughts on "flying"


including the concept of the airplane itself, wing models, measuring wind speed
and direction to instruments. Leonardo's thoughts on "flying" are collected in the
Codex "On the Flight of Birds" kept at the Biblioteca Reale Turin, Italy and the
Codex of the Institut de France in Paris, France. Leonardo's collection has been
mostly applied in replica form at the National Museum of Science and Technology
Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Italy. In many of his documents, he includes writings
written in reverse (mirror image writing), one of the privileges of a dyslexic.
In 1766, an english chemist, Henry Cavendish made an important
contribution to flight when he discovered a gas that he called "flammable air".Later
named hydrogen,this gas is important because it is fourteen and one-half times
lighter than air .Cavendish himself didn't recognize its important to flight,but Dr.
Joseph Black ,profesor or chemistry at Glasgow University,did. He realized that if
this light gas were enclosed in a thin bladder,it would weigh less than the
surrounding air and would therefore rise.
George Cayley developed the concept of the modern fixed-wing aircraft in 1799,
and thus identified the basic styles of flight, namely lift, thrust, drag and weight.
The development of reasonable predictions of the thrust required to propel flight
along with the development of high lift and low traction airfoils was the path to
successful first powered flight.
Francis Herbert Wenham (1824, Kensington – 1908)was a British marine
engineer who studied the problem of human flight and wrote a perceptive and
influential academic paper, which he presented to the first meeting of the Royal
Aeronautical Society in London in 1866. He was the son of a British army surgeon.
Otto lilienthal Otto Lilienthal (1848-1896) - one of the most famous aviation
pioneers made the glider and biplane, and fell with him until he died when one
wing broke in flight. The glyph (see patent here) looks absolutely gorgeous. He
usually said something like this: "Finding a flying machine is nothing. Making it is
something interesting. But being able to fly is everything.".
The Wright Brothers, consisting of two brothers, Orville Wright (19 August
1871 - 30 January 1948) and Wilbur Wright (16 April 1867 - 30 May 1912), are
generally credited with designing and designing the first effective airplane, and for
making controlled flight the first to use a heavier-than-air powered airplane, along
with another milestone in the field of the aerospace era. The two brothers initially
ran a store in Dayton, Ohio.[1] The shop sells and repairs motorbikes. They began
to study the problem of flight in 1889. Then they began to make three twin-wing
gliders. All three were tested at Kitty Hawk beach, North Carolina. The third plane
has been tested for 1000 flights and was successful. Then they made a light motor
engine. The engine was installed in his fourth plane, which he named the Wright
Flyer.

During World War 1, aircraft were used to spy on the opponent's position on the
front lines and for communication purposes, because they often crossed paths with
opposing aircraft, pilots used pistols or rifles to shoot each other. Then the plane is
equipped with a machine gun and gunner (gunner) which is placed behind the
pilot. The position of the gunner itself in the cloud has the ability to shoot enemy
aircraft behind it, or in front of it.
