The History of Aviation Assignment
The history of aviation reaches back throughout centuries into ancient cultures. It is even included in Greek mythology of the legend of Daedalus and Icarus. Although the earliest knowledge of a man-made flight dates back a few hundred years in BC in China through kite flying. It is important to note that aviation throughout history has several stages such as balloons, rotor wings to kites. This paper will focus on the three main stages that I believe pivoted the history and knowledge of aviation: Lighter-than-air flight (airships), heavier-than-air flying machines (airplanes), and military aviation.
