The History Of Airplane Development And Sectional Flights

By Richard Phillips


Since the beginning of mankind, humanity has been fascinated by all the things that surround them. Whether it is the great source of nature that surrounds each one with a different sight and sound or the various different animals that is seen in the vast wilderness of forest old, the love of the unknown has driven humanity to bigger and newer heights.

For ages, people have looked upon the environment around them and held a great appreciation of what they saw. The vast green and forest have given way to stories about what is inside the vast world of green. The ability of these creatures to freely fly around the sky was loved by man, leading to the creation of airplanes and sectional flights inside them.

Humans were so enthralled by them, that many cultures around the world have symbolized wings and birds as scared animals in the different mythologies and religions that were prevalent during the time. Many birds were depicted as guardians or gods that ruled over humanity. The wings symbolized the freedom and power.

The first kind of flying machine design was founded in the city famous for its myths. A resident of Greece had introduced a harness that enabled the inventor or pilot to fly for a limited amount of time. This idea was given birth during the golden age of Greece. The machine held an impressive feat as it was able to keep itself in flight despite the primitive technology.

Moving away from the period of ancient Greece, others had made their own designs for flight as well. The ideas they have fixated on how a person can fly using a device known as a gilder to go through the air gently without falling. The technology of that time proved to be insufficient and primitive as it did not succeed.

As the centuries have passed on by, the early days of the 18th century had seen some developments for flying projects. During this time period, the inventors had given up on trying to make a flying man and instead sought to make machine that could carry them instead. The test yielded positive results but were still not completed due to lack of knowledge.

The 19th century people further improved the designs of previous eras. The French had developed a machine similar to a glider in size but had a different way of working. This prototype was pulled on a system by horses to give it some power and speed and transferring that energy over, enabled it to glide in the sky.

Many other types of models were made during the timelines. Most of them had very bad issues and could not fly safely and was scraped during the testing period. The Wright brothers were the first people to make a successful modern airplane that worked.

All these developments have the airplane what it is today. Now, many can travel wherever they like without much trouble in doing so. The past of traveling by ship for many days and months are long passed humanity. And thus, many new adventures are done because of it.
