Evolution of Aviation Industry
The antiquity of aviation extends for
more than two thousand years, from the original forms of aviation such
as kites and attempts at tower jumping to supersonic and hypersonic flight
by powered, heavier-than-air jets (Flying Machines )
Kite flying in China dates back to several
hundred years BC and slowly spread around the world. It is thought to be the
earliest example of man-made flight.
Leonardo da Vinci's 15th-century dream of flight
found expression in several rational but unscientific designs, though he did
not attempt to construct any of them.
Discovery of hydrogen gas in the 18th century led to the
invention of the hydrogen balloon, at almost exactly the same time that the
Montgolfier brothers rediscovered the hot-air balloon and began manned
flights.
Balloons, both free-flying and tethered, began to be used
for military purposes from the end of the 18th century, with the French
government establishing Balloon Companies during the Revolution.
Experiments with gliders provided the groundwork for
heavier-than-air craft, and by the early-20th century, advances in engine
technology and aerodynamics made controlled, powered flight possible for the
first time.
The modern airplane with its characteristic
tail was established by 1909 and from then on the history of the aeroplane
became tied to the development of more and more powerful engines.
In the latter part of the 20th century the advent of
digital electronics produced great advances in flight instrumentation and
"fly-by-wire" systems. The 21st century saw the large-scale use of
pilotless drones for military, civilian and leisure use. With digital controls,
inherently unstable aircraft such as flying wings became possible.
What is aviation all about?
Aviation comes from the
Latin word avis meaning "bird,"
an appropriate translation given that aviation deals with travel by air, specifically in a plane.
The aviation industry is the
business sector dedicated
to manufacturing and operating all types of aircraft.
In today’s modern world,
air transport is universally used as the fastest mode for traveling.
Hence we can say that
Aviation Industry is a blooming industry providing end number of jobs in different
fields.
