Leonardo da
Vinci designed
several flying
machines. This
one, called an
ornithopter,
simulated the
motion of a bird
flying.

Aviation

Otto Lilienthal
German engineer Otto

aeronautics during the
latter half of the 19th
century. He modeled the
curved wings of his
gliders after the wings of
a bird.

Aviation

Wright Brothers
Orville Wright mans the
controls of the Wright Flyer
in 1908, five years after he
made the worlds first
successful, sustained flight.

1903 near Kill Devil Hill in
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Aviation is the need of hour.
Ranging from the fastest
transport to the most up-to-date
defense, its importance is self
evident.
