Aeroplane
First Airplane
● On 17th December, 1903, Orville and Wilbur
Wright (The Wright Brothers), flew the first
motor powered airplane at North Carolina, USA
● Also called Kitty Hawk
● Pilot Aboard
● Travelled 120 ft.
● In flight for only 12 seconds.
● 12-horsepower
● Non-wheeled, linear skids act as landing gears
● Made of wood and fabric, and motor was an
aluminium crankcase
First Metal Airplane
● On January 1st, 1917, Hugo Junker
developed the first metal airplane
named Junker J4
● Made out of light-weight aluminium
called duralumin
● More durable, did not absorb sun or
moisture, a sturdy structure.
● One of the greatest engineering
successes in history
● Equipped with wings, fuselage, wheels,
undercarriage, and tail
 First Jet Engine
● On January 1st, 1937, Frank
Whittle and Hans von Ohain
designed the first jet engine.
● It was made up of a fan,
compressor, combustor, turbine,
and nozzle.
● On August 27th, was the world's
first aircraft to fly using the thrust
from a turbojet engine
● The flight was much faster and
efficient
Commercial
Airplanes
● On July 27, 1949, the first
commercial airplane flight took
place.
● Then in 1969 the first wide
winged commercial airplane
was developed
● This airplane was called the
Boeing 747
● It had four engines, two decks,
and it flew at high speeds.
● This was the first step towards
passenger transportation.
Modern Commercial Flight
● On September 1st, 2012, the eco friendly commercial airliner the A380 was created.
● It only produces 75g of CO2 per passenger, which is way under the international limit per
passenger.
● This plane contains many recycled components, and recycles many things it uses, it is
naturally lighted, and burns much less fuel.

 Today’s uses of Airplanes
Cargo Passengers Fighter Planes

Airplanes are used by

Airplanes are used to deliver Jets/Drones are used to
people to travel anywhere
mail and ordered items transport and assist troops
around the world
 Future of Airplanes
● The first major thing to accomplish will be a
more fuel efficient plane. One that can run
on electricity, or solar power.
● New and efficient designs
