HistoryDec 17, 1903 – Orville Wright flew the first heavier-than-air aircraft he built with brother Wilbur in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA. The first flight covered only 120 feet and lasted only 12 seconds, but it changed history!

TodayThe Germans (c/o Mercedes) developed the propeller plane in the 1910s.British (c/o Comodore Whittle) developed the jet engine in the 1930sThe industry we know today came about after the end of The Second World War. The surplus in bomber and infantry-dropping airplanes were converted from military use to commercialized passenger services.The Americans (c/o Air Force and NASA) broke the sound barrier (1940’s)And the Russians beat Earth’s gravitational pull (1950’s)
