  3. Chinese • The exact date and origin of the kite is not known but it is believed that they were flown in China more than two thousand years ago. • The earliest written account of kite flying was about 200 B.C. when the Chinese General Han Hsin of the Han Dynasty flew a kite over the walls of a city.

  4. Some pioneers of aviation Italian, Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519) English, Sir George Cayley (1773 - 1857) German, Otto Lilienthal, German (1848 - 1869) American, Orville and Wilbur Wright (1871 - 1948) (1986 - 1912) Brazilian, Santos Dumont (1873 - 1932) American, Glenn Curtiss (1878 - 1930) Louis Bleriot (1827 - 1936) Igor Sikorsky (1889 - 1972)

  5. Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519)Italian About 1485 he drew detailed plans for a human-powered ornithopter, but there is no evidence that he actually attempted to build such a device.

  6. Sir George Cayley (1773 - 1857)English He designed the first flight of a model glider in 1804; and was credited for the formation of many important flight theories.

  7. Sir George Cayley (1773 - 1857)English On top of the model glider, he built a large gliding machine that flew in 1853 with one man onboard.

  8. Otto Lilienthal, German (1848 - 1896)German • He was the foremost of the pioneers who discovered theories about flight and made over 2,000 flights; all in hang-gliders. • On August 9; 1896, after many tests of fixed-wing gliders, he crashed in his No. 11 monoplane and died.

  9. Orville Wright (1871 - 1948) Wilbur Wright (1986 - 1912)American They achieved the first controlled, powered flight for 12 seconds at 500 feet on December 17; 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA.

  10. Santos Dumont (1873 - 1932)Brazilian The work of the Wright brothers inspired many European to think about flying. A Brazilian, Santos Dumont, gave up his interest in airships and designed a monoplane made of bamboo and silk. On 12 November; 1906, he set the first aviation record in Europe using his plane, 14-bis, flying 722 feet (220 meters) in 21.5 seconds with members of the Aero-Club du France in attendance. This flight was also credited as the first flight in Europe.

  11. Mr. Dumont’s 14-bis

  12. Louis Bleriot(1872-1936)French On 25 July 1909, he made the first flight through the English Channel (from Calais to Dover Castle) in 37 minutes.

  13. The first journey of crossing English Channel

  14. Glenn Curtiss (1878 – 1930) He is indeed the "Father of Naval Aviation” and built America's first seaplane in 1912.

  15. The first Trans-Atlantic Ocean flight Having done hardly, Curtiss went on to perfect the "Flying Boat”, which completed the first Trans-Atlantic Ocean journey of about 4,000 miles (from Rockaway Beach, N.Y. to Lisbon, Portugal) in 19 days. He set off on 8 May 1919 and arrived on 17 May of the same year, during which he had stopped for repairing of engine and the plane either.

  18. The First Non-stop Aerial Crossing of the Atlantic Two RAF flyers Captain John Alcock (1892 - 1919) and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown (1886 - 1848) Starting point: Newfoundland in England Destination: Clifden in Ireland Date: 14 June 1919 Duration: 15 hours and 57 minutes Aeroplane used: Vickers-Vimy bomber

  19. The First Non-stop Aerial Crossing of the Atlantic

  20. Vickers Vimy Bomber

  21. The statue celebrating this first non stop Transatlantic flight is to be seen at London's Heathrow airport.

  22. Captain Ross Smith (1892 - 1922)Lieutenant Keith Smith (1890 - 1955)Australian

  23. England to Australia less than 30 days • In 1919 the Australian Prime Minister Billy Hughes announced the now famous ‘AIR RACE’. • A prize of ￡10,000 was to be awarded for the first machine to fly from London to Australia in 30 days or less. • Taking up the challenge, Ross Smith applied to the British company Vickers to supply a Vickers Vimy bomber for the race, and the Smith brothers flew their way into Australian. • Took off on Nov. 12, 1919 at Hounslow, England • Landed on December 10 at Darwin, Australia • Total flying time and distance: 135 hours 55 mins. and 17,911 km

  25. Charles Lindbergh (1902 - 1974)AmericanThe first pilot to fly solo and non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean. Date: May 20-May 21, 1927 Starting point: Long Island, New York Destination: Paris Aeroplane: Single-engine airplane - “The Spirit of St. Louis” Flying time: 33 hrs 31 minutes

  26. Spirit of St. Louis

  27. Igor Sikorsky (1889 –1972)Russian-American He built and successfully flew his VS-300 helicopter in 1939. Born in Kiev, Russia, on May 25, 1889, Mr. Sikorsky developed an early interest in aviation, thanks largely to the influence of his mother, who was a doctor, and his father, a psychology professor. He emigrated to the United States in 1919.

  29. Women in Aviation - Timeline http://womenshistory.about.com/od/aviationpilots/a/av_timeline.htm

  30. The first woman to fly an airplane solo • Madame Therese Peltier, Itatian (1873-1926) • On July 8, 1908 she made a flight of 656 feet with Léon Delagrange in Turin, Italy.

  31. War and Aviation First World War (1914 - 1918) Second World War (1939 - 1945)

  32. WHY? In the early WWI, aircraft’s role was limited only to reconnaissance. Later in the war, some of them were modified to become `fighters’ or even `bombers’ to project different aspects of air power.

  33. In the result of technology advancement, the warplanes could be divided into categories. • Fighter • Ground Attack • Bomber • reconnaissance • Transport • Special Electronic Mission • Tanker • Reconnaissance • Antisubmarine Warfare

  34. Famous warplanes in WWII BomberFighters • B17 Flying Fortress (USA) Spitfire (UK) • B24 Liberator (USA) Hurricane (UK) • B29 Superfortress (USA) Me 109 (Germany) • Lancaster (UK) Me 262 (Germany) • Mosquito (UK) Zero (Japan) • P-40 Kittyhawk (USA) • P-38 Lighting (USA) • P-47 Thunderbolt (USA) • P-51 Mustang (USA) • P-6F Hellcat (USA) • F-4U Corsair (USA)

  35. Development of engine piston engine piston engine with supercharger / turbocharger gas turbine engine = jet engine = turbojet engine

  36. Dr. Hans von Ohain (1911 - 1998) and Sir Frank Whittle (1907 - 1996) are both recognized as being the co-inventors of the jet engine. Each worked separately and knew nothing of the other's work. Frank Whittle was the first to register a patent for the turbojet engine in 1930. Hans von Ohain was granted a patent for his turbojet engine in 1936.

  37. The first jet aeroplane Hans von Ohain of Germany was an inventor of jet propulsion. He approached Ernst Heinkel, one of the larger aircraft industrialists in Germany. Then they worked together, finally He 178, the first aeroplane powered by jet engine was flown on 27 August 1939 in Germany.

  38. Back in Britain, the Air Ministry had become sufficiently impressed with Whittle's ground tests that an order was placed for a flight-worthy engine to be installed in an aircraft built by Gloster. The aircraft was completed in March 1941 and the engine the following May. Whittle's engine was first flown in the Gloster E.28/39 on 15 May 1941.

  39. The longest flight in history Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer (N277SF) is an aircraft designed by Burt Rutan. Steve Fossett flew the GlobalFlyer from February 7, 2006 to February 11, 2006 and made a record of the longest flight of 26,389.3 miles.

  41. History of Space Exploration USA Vs USSR

  42. On October 4; 1957, the first artificial satellite, `Sputnik’, was successfully launched by USSR, now called as Russia.

  43. On Feb 1; 1958, USA succeeded in putting the satellite, Explorer I, into the orbit of the earth. On 12 April 1961, Russia placed the world’s first spacemaninto orbit. He is Yuri Gargarin. On 20 February 1962, US Marine Lt. Col. John Glenn became the first American to have made orbital flight.

  44. The first men on the Moon On 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin carried by Apollo 11 and stepped on the moon.

  45. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the NASA in 1958, partially in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite. What does NASA do? To explores. To discovers. To seeks to understand. A lot of space projects or program have been done and carrying out. Mercury, Apollo, Mariner, Pioneer, Voyager….

  46. Space shuttle (Space Transportation System)program is one of the famous programs of NASA.The program started in the late 1960s and has dominated NASA's manned operations since the mid-1970s. According to the Vision for Space Exploration, use of the Space Shuttle will be focused on completing assembly of the International Space Station in 2010.

  47. Enterprise, the first Space Shuttle Orbiter, Enterprise never flew in space, but it was crucial to the Space Shuttle program. It is a series of approach and landing tests in 1977 proved the orbiter could fly in the atmosphere and land like an airplane, except without power -- like a glider.

  48. Space Shuttle Columbia (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-102) was the first space shuttle in NASA's orbital fleet. It’s first mission, STS-1, lasted from April 12 to April 14, 1981. On February 1, 2003, Columbia disintegrated during re-entry on its 28th mission; all seven crew members aboard were killed.
