  1. Recruit Training Flight Lesson 3 Part 2 History of Flight

  2. Heavier-Than-Air Craft

  3. Heavier-Than-Air Craft 1000BC Kites flown in China

  4. Newton’s First Law Every body continues in its state of rest or steady motion in a straight line unless the forces on it do not balance.

  5. Newton’s Third Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

  7. How a Modern Kite Flies Total Reaction Low Pressure Airflow Deflected (Higher Pressure) Lift Drag Tension in String

  8. Free Flight • 1804 • Sir George Cayley flew the first model glider, which lead to the development of the first manned flight in a glider of a similar design.

  9. The Need for POWER • John Stringfellow developed a small engine based on a train engine that could be used in an aircraft. • This was too heavy and large to provide the amount of power required for sustained powered flight. • This lead to the invention of the Internal Combustion Engine, which is still in use today in cars, piston engined aircraft etc. • The main pioneer of the single cylinder internal combustion engine was Gottlieb Daimler.

  10. Engines The ‘Otto’ Cycle Gottlieb Daimler

  11. First Powered Flight • The Wright Brothers pioneered controlled, powered flight. • The first flight was on 17 December 1903. • They flew their Wright Flyer 260m. • Orville, the pilot, wrote: “The course of the flight up and down was exceedingly erratic. The control of the front rudder(elevator) was difficult. As a result the machine would rise suddenly to about 10ft and then as suddenly dart for the ground. A sudden dart, when a little over 120ft from the point at which it rose into the air, ended the flight”.

  12. Wright Brothers First Flight • Have a look at the video of the Wright Brothers first flight. • LINK

  21. Any Questions

  22. Questions • Who is thought to have produced the first Model Glider in 1804? • Wright Brothers. • Sir George Cayley. • Louis Bleriot. • John Stringfellow.

  23. Questions • Otto Lilienthal is known for? • Building controllable Gliders, considered to be the forerunner of the modern hang glider. • Developing the world’s first single cylinder internal combustion engine. • c. Flying non-stop from London to Paris for the first time. • Building the first heavier-than-air powered aircraft large enough to carry a man.

  24. Questions • Who was the first person to fly a powered aircraft across the English Channel? • Orville Wright. • Bryan Allen. • Wilbur Wright. • Louis Bleriot.

  25. The very Latest!! StephaneRousson (39) At 8 am, on 28 Sep 08, StephaneRousson attempted to cross the English Channel from Hythe in Kent to Wissanin France. The attempt failed 11 miles from the destination due to strong headwinds. He was recovered by boat to France.
