Aeroplane

The French inventor Felix du temple designed a steam driven monoplane which managed to fly for a second or two in 1874, in Russia, ALEXANDER MOZHAISKI did the same using a British-built steam-engine on his machine ten years later.

Clement Adler, of France, managed to fly 0 meters in 1890- the first powered aircraft not to use a starting ramp to raise it into the air. In 1894 sir Hiram Maxim got an enormous steam-driven biplane off the ground.

None of the Aeroplanes though could be controlled properly, or manage to fly very far. The wright brothers invented the first true aeroplane with an internal combustion engine to achieve controlled and sustained flight. This successful filght was regarded by the press as a huge joke, it took place on the morning of 17th December, 1903 at Kittyhawk, North Carolina, USA in an aircraft designed and built by orville and Wilbur wright. Orville was the pilot and it flew for just 12 seconds at a height of between 2.3 and 3.7 meter. Three more flights were made the same day, the longest for half a mile.

No matter what the news paper reporters thought, by improving the design in less than five years. Orville wright flew in france for fifty miles in October 1908.

The modern aircraft industry was already under way by men, for Affirm called Voisin Freres of Billancourt, france, started producing aeroplanes for sale to the general public in 1906. The first machine was held on 30th march,1907.

It was a biplane which looked rather like a box kite.
