3. History of the Airplane
- www.first-to-fly.com
- However, the concept of the airplane has only been around for two centuries. ...
- This was the fundamental concept of the airplane. Sir George Cayley also built the first true airplane a kite mounted on a stick with a movable tail. ...
- This wing of the museum focuses on the history of the airplane, from its conception in 1799 to our hopes for its future. ... We concentrate on the development of the airplane before World War I, when flying machines were odd contraptions of stick, cloth, and wire; engines were temperamental and untrustworthy; and pilots were never quite sure whether theyd be able to coax their machine into the air or bring it down in one piece.
- Sir George Cayley's 1799 design for an airplane -- fixed wings for lift, a movable tail for control, and rows of "flappers" beneath the wings for thrust.
- A History of the Airplane is divided into four sections:.
- The Century Before traces the evolution of the airplane from Sir George Cayley's idea in 1799 to the Wright Brothers first sustained, controlled, powered flight in 1903.
- The Century After tells how the airplane developed from a machine that could barely lift itself and a pilot off the ground and fly for a minute or two to a practical, useful mode of transportation, a weapon of war, and a means to explore our world and the universe around us.
- Doers and Dreamers offers short biographies of people who participated in the early development of th airplane.
4. Wright Brothers History: The Tale of the Airplane

- Wright Brothers History: The Tale of the Airplane.
- A Brief Account of the Invention of the Airplane.
- The story of the invention of the airplane is a Puritan fairy tale. ... After all, if prominent scientists and engineers the world over had been confounded in their efforts to invent the airplane, how could two common men from rustic America have succeeded?.
- Around the turn of the century, dozens of people were working to invent the airplane. ... Lilienthal began his work on heavier-than-air craft not by developing a complete airplane, but instead by focusing his efforts on a fixed-wing glider.
- Lilienthal brought a much-needed respectability to the enterprise of inventing an airplane. ...
- In addition to the respectability he brought to the field, Lilienthal made two more important contributions to the nascent field of airplane invention: the style of perfecting a glider before attempting powered flight (which Gibbs-Smith refers to as the 'airman' approach), and a table of the lift provided by curved wings. ...
- Following in Lilienthal's footsteps, efforts to invent an airplane became commonplace in the 1890's. ...
- Against this backdrop, we see the Wright brothers efforts to develop an airplane, plotted in green on Figure 1. ...
- Here it is apparent there is a real mystery in the invention of the airplane: How did the Wrights begin at the top of the field and make sustained progress when their contemporaries could not? Unlike mystery novels, there is no simple answer to the mystery, but the answer is fascinating and instructive nonetheless.
