Aviation technology, has advanced very quickly in the years after Wrights' first flights. In a span of five years the wright brothers had built a two -person biplane that can speed along at 44 miles, [71 km] per hour and can climb to the altitude of 140 feet [43 m]

success with the heavier than air flying machines they let their attention dwell on true masters of flight-birds.In the year 1889 engineer of Germany Otto Lilienthal, infused by the flight 'habits of storks, published about' Bird Flight as the Basis of Aviation. Just in two years he built his first simple 'glider'. In 1896 after about 2,000 glider flights, otto Lilienthal was killed, while trying with a monoplane. Octave Chanute, the French-born American engineer really elaborated on Lilienthal design thus he developed a glider with two wings, that again represented a significant progress, in the design of a heavier- than-air flying machine. Wright brothers entered. The brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright, began the first gliding experiment in 1900. Wright brothers worked slowly and neatly over three years, making repeated flight tests at K. Hawk, north Carolina. New designs developed by them with the aid of air tunnels, first flight of which was made for their own use from the laundry starch box. First, power flight was built by them on their own 4 cylinder, 12-horsepower engine and mounted it, on the lower wing of a new plane. The engine, thus powered two wooden propellers one on each side of the plane's rear rudder. On December 14, 1903 wright brothers new invention rose above it's wooden launch track for the very first time! And it stayed aloft, for three and a half seconds wrights flew the machine once again after 3 days. finally, it remained air -borne for nearly a full minute and also covering a distance of 853 feet'. The plane was a success. its a Surprise that this landmark accomplishment, was given less attention by the rest of the world The world in general was skeptical of aviation in early years. However the aviation technology, has advanced very quickly in the years after Wrights' first flights. In a span of five years the Wright brothers had built a two -person biplane that can speed along at 44 miles, [71 km] per hour and can climb to the altitude of 140 feet [43 m]. In 1911 the first united states, transcontinental airship crossing was made; Short journey from New York to California took about 49 days! During World War I the aircraft speeds were pushed from 60 miles per hour[100 kph]to over 145 miles per hour[230 kph]. Altitude records went up soon to 30,000 feet. The aviation records went on and on to grab headlines in the 1920's. The first nonstop flight, from one end to the other end, of United states of america was made by two american army officers. They made their journey from coast to coast in less than 27 hours in 1923. Just four years later, Charles A., Lindbergh gained instant fame by a nonstop flight from NewYork to Paris in 33 hours and 20 minutes. Meanwhile, the fledgling commercial airlines were starting to attract many customers. By the end of 1939, the air travel had caught to the point that U.S. airlines was at the service of approximately three million passengers annually. Airliner known as the standard airliner of the late 1930's, the- DC-3 carried just twenty one passengers at cruise speed of 170 miles /hour [270 kph]; but after the World War II, commercial airplanes grew so larger and very, very powerful, achieving cruising speed of over 300 miles /hour. Then British introduced, the commercial- turbojet service in 1952. And the jumbo jets, known as the 400-seat Boeing 747 made their debut in 1970. And another breakthrough was in 1976. The British and French team of engineers introduced the Concorde, a delta-winged- jetliner capable of carrying, 100 passengers at double the speed of sound-more than 1400 miles per hour. But the steep operating cost limits widespread use of commercial, 'supersonic' planes. Even if you have never flown in airplane, your life must have been patterned by these rapid -technological advances. Operations of airfreight span the globe; also the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the machines we use at work and at home, has flown in from across the ocean or a continent Letters and packages are whisked, from country to country through airmail. Businesses rely heavily, on air courier services, to lead their day to day transaction. These goods and their quick services that available to us and the price we pay to them have all been influenced by man's ability to fly. Aviation has brought the profound social changes. Without doubt, the world has shrunk. Within a few hours, you can be almost anywhere in the world-if you can pay for it. News too travels fast, and so do people. But such fast progress is, at a price. With the increase of air traffic, some are afraid of the sky becoming more dangerous. Almost, every year crashes involve the private, commercial, air planes, that engulf many lives. Under competitive pressures, many airlines are forgoing, additional safety margins that they constantly maintained at the time they could pass extra cost on customers. Additionally, increasing number of environmental, researchers, are alarmed by enormous increases in air and noise pollution, that result from heavier jet traffic. Dealing the matter with related over noise problems is "among the more divisive issues in world civil aviation" said the Aviation Week & Space' Technology. These problems, are compounded by the fact that the air fleets are getting older In 1990, 1 of every four U.S. airliners was found to be more than 20 years old, and a third of them had been used beyond the limits that are fixed by the manufacturer. Hence, the aeronautic engineers are facing extraordinary challenge. The engineers must develop a safer and less expensive method to carry more passengers as the cost price, escalate and environment concerns increase. Some solutions in cutting down the cost has already begun. Hence Jim Erickson, writing in 'Asiaweek' explains that the Franco-British, team Aerospatiale and British Aerospace has planned to develop a aeroplane that can carry, three hundred passengers, at twice the speed of sound for sure.
