The glider designs of George Cayley and Otto Lilienthal were a far cry from the technological sophistication of space flight, and 19th-century designs established basic principles still present in the design of the space shuttle. Mechanization, which started with the Wright brothers, powered flight, giving substance to the age-old human dream of manned flight. War and the onset of commercial flight produced massive improvements in aeronautical design and logistical advances. In the modern era, the very concept of flight has taken mankind into space and inspired plans for manned space travel.

The first successful powered flight was carried out by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903. However, there was human flight before the Wright brothers made their accomplishments. These pre-twentieth century fliers were not foolish dreamers, since their desire for human flight was usually more often than not informed by what were then valid scientific principles. Those who attempted flight before the twentieth century actually formed the basis on which the developers of human flight in later centuries applied (Crouch, 2004).

One of the pre-twentieth century fliers was Leonardo da Vinci, who seems to have developed many of the initial ...

Technical Applied Science: Using the Scientific Method

Problem Statement

In general commercial and non-commercial flights are the two main categories of aviation. Pilot age became a particularly controversial issue in 1959 when the Age-60 Rule was made by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Age Rule has been lifted to 65 years so pilot’s can continue to fly through their early 60s. All factors causing air accidents are seriously investigated. If age is not a factor then time could be better spent resolving the problems that are factors in air accidents. This proposal seeks to evaluate the literature in order to determine whether or not the age ...
