A Brief History of Airplanes
Men have always desired to fly since time immemorial. Airplane history is a phrase that will explain the notion of creating a machine that is able to lift off from the surface of the earth and climb to the sky with people on board. This is not a new idea but has been around for the past two centuries. Before this time however, human beings tried to fly with flaps in imitation of birds. People came up with designs to flying contraptions with flaps known as ornithopters. On paper, it seemed sensible. However, it was more difficult to implement because it is not simple to catapult a pilot with their contraption as easily as a bird can take off into the air.
When it comes to current airplane history, no achievement has gone further down in record as the progress that was initiated by Orville and Wilbur Wright popularly known as the Wright brothers. The brothers having great faith got official government documentation to enlist their invention as intellectual property not more than nine months prior to the hailed initial winning flight test run. This was the twelfth month of nineteen hundred and three. Orville and Wilbur were keen to record each event in their quest for an airplane and this wisdom froze time on paper when they took a picture of Orville flying their invention thereby making airplane history.
An ample range of aircrafts exist showing the types of airplanes that are assembled in this contemporary era. Airplanes can be classified into three all-embracing classes characterizing commercial passenger liners, armed forces planes or sea planes. Commercial jet liners are very massive planes which are made to carry travelers together with consignment. Commercial aircrafts can moreover be classified into four-engine, three and two engine jumbo jets. The four-engine jumbo liner however, still is the most prevalent with capabilities of conveying up to a thousand travelers.
The second of the types of airplanes are the military planes which of course are planes that are used especially by the armed forces personnel. These planes are mostly employed when setting an offensive against enemy fire either from the ground or from the skies. Others will be used to transport marines as well as gear to the base or battle frontiers.
The last types of planes are sea planes which are further divided into three kinds. Float planes are identified for having big floats in place of wheels. The second category is the fly boats which are in fact designed to resemble a boats hull, to remain afloat on water. The last category are identified as amphibians which can float, soar without wings and shaped like a frog. - 2368
