  2. Introduction: TheBirds & theBees If you look around in nature, you can see all sorts of flying creatures, blessed with a natural capacity to fly. Can you name some? What do they do to get into the air? Most animals cannot fly – what factors prevent them?

  3. Introduction: TheBirds & theBees If you look around in nature, you can see all sorts of flying animals and insects, what do they do to get into the air? The birds & Insects all have WINGS that FLAP! But in humans’ quest for flight, this idea simply did NOT work for us! Please watch video 1 Man´s Early Flight Attempts Source YouTube Video Mrfrankfranktube Edition Fly Higher ?

  4. Introduction: TheBirds & theBees If flapping does not work, what does? Please watch video 2 Amazing Bird – in slow motion Source YouTube Video myvideohole Edition Fly Higher As you watch the above video, think of as many ways that you can by which humans get into the air (safely!). We cannot do that naturally, so what devices do we use to help us?

  5. EarlyAttempts: Balloons & Sheep! In September 1783, the Montgolfier brothers' hot air balloon was flown with the first living creature in a basket below the balloon. The animal was a sheep … called Montauciel! Soon after, balloon trips around Paris were all the fashion with wealthy people!

  6. EarlyAttempts: Gettinginto a flap NO! Flapping did not go well for human flight! … So, if imitating birds and insects is not the way for humans to fly, what is? Please watch video 3 Man´s Early Flight Attempts 2 Source YouTube Video Mrfrankfranktube Edition Fly Higher

  7. Flight: The “Wright” way to go! After all these different ideas and attempts to gain flight into the air, on the 17th of December 1903, brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright flew 40 metres with a powered aircraft! They called her “Kitty Hawk”. Human’s had finally achieved powered flight! Please watch video 4 The Wright way to go Source YouTube Video Channel canyouthink Edition Fly Higher

  8. Facts & Figures: The Airbus A380 The largest passenger plane, the European Airbus A380, has a wingspan twice as long as the Wright brothers’ first flight!

  9. Facts & Figures: A380: Stats & Figures

  10. Facts & Figures: Goingaround the world! The Boeing 737, the world’s most popular passenger aircraft, has flown more than 111.2 billion miles - equivalent to nearly 600 round trips from the earth to the sun!

  11. Facts & Figures: People inAviation In 2011 the following figures were published about general aviation: • Over 2.8 billion passengers were carried by the world's airlines. This is around 40% of the world’s entire human population! • 8.4 million people work directly in the aviation industry throughout the world. This is equal to the entire population of Austria!

  12. OK! BUT…. Whatkeepsaeroplanes in the air? Is it magic….or nice, gentle fairies? Take a look at this: Please watch video 5 The Forces of an Airplane Source YouTube Video Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT and K12 videos Edition Fly Higher

  13. In the air: The 4forces at work Lift Generated by air pressure over the wings Drag Thrust Caused by air resistance as the plane moves forward through the air Generated from the engines on the wings Weight All fuel, cargo, passengers plus the plane itself

  14. The ModernPlane: Alltypesstill work ontheseprinciples Today we see a huge amount of varied aircraft flying and carrying people all over the world ... Please watch video 6 Farnborough Airshow 2012 Edition Fly Higher
