  2. Purposes of this lesson: • Describe briefly the history of aviation with respect to: • Early flight • Civil and commercial aviation • Military aviation, and • Recreational aviation. • Describe the full range of basic types of aircraft emanating from the lighter-than-air and heavier- than-air categories. • This lesson will help you at cadets to pass your exam and to be more knowledgeable with aviation.

  3. Timeline

  4. 1700s • First balloon flight in 1783 - France • First powered ballon and the first flight by a woman in 1784 - France • First American flight 1793 • First Military use in 1794 • First parachute jump in 1797

  5. 1800s • First air transport company in 1843 • First dirigible - steam engine powered ballon - 1852 • First transatlantic attempt - 1873 • First successful metal dirigible - crashed because of leaks - 1897

  9. Lighter-Than-Air Aircraft • Aircraft that can rise and remain suspended by using contained gas weighing less than the air that is displaced by the gas. • What types are there?

  10. Heavier-Than-Air Aircraft • An aircraft which is heavier than the air that it displaces • Any aircraft which flies by producing lift, rather than relying on being lighter than the air around it • What are some examples?

  11. Outcomes from this lesson • You should now be able to: • Briefly describe the history of aviation • Differentiate between heavier than air and lighter than air aircraft
