HISTORY OF AEROLANE

HISTORY OF AEROPLANE
  
The inventors of the first airplane were Orville and Wilbur Wright. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first successful experiment in which a machine (aka airplane) carrying a man rose by its own power, flew naturally and at even speed, and descended without damage.
What is an Airplane?
Most of us only have to look up into the sky to see an airplane, and many of us have traveled by airplane to places that would have taken much longer by any other means of transportation. An airplane by definition is an aircraft that has a fixed wing and is powered by propellers or jets.
Before the Wright Brothers - History of Flight
However, before the first airplane was invented by the Wright Brothers, inventors made numerous attempts to make like the birds and fly. These early inventions included kites, hot air balloons, airships, gliders, and other devices.
Orville Wright & Wilbur Wright - First Piloted & Powered Airplane
"Flight is possible to man and I feel that it will soon cost me an increased amount of money if not my life". - Wilbur Wright Co-Inventor of the first engined airplane.

Orville Wright (1871-1948) and Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) had requested a patent application for a "flying machine" nine months before their first successful flight, they were that confidant.
As part of the Wright Brothers' systematic practice of photographing every prototype and test of their various flying machines, they had persuaded an attendant from a nearby lifesaving station to snap Orville Wright in full flight. The craft soared to an altitude of 10 feet, traveled 120 feet, and landed 12 seconds after takeoff. After making two longer flights that day, Orville and Wilbur Wright sent a telegram to their father, instructing him to inform the press that manned flight had taken place. This was birth of the first real airplane.

James and the art of bonding

Watching the recent James Bond film festival on Star Movies ensured not only great entertainment, but also an opportunity to understand one of the world's truly enduring brands. For this character, created by Ian Fleming over half-a-century ago, still manages to keep the pulse racing even after myriad transformations that the world around him has undergone. What then is the elusive recipe for the popularity of the world's best known secret agent? And what can the brand world look to imbibe from an idea that has traversed space and time with aplomb? The triumph of an overarching philosophy Call it the essence, core or unifying theme, but the Bond brand seems to have it perfectly figured out. While playing with the most advanced gadgets coupled with dutifully romancing all the women who cross his path and saving the world just in time for cocktails might only seem outward manifestations of the behaviour of this super spy, there are deeper primal levels at which these might

Pen History

Pen History As early as 4,000 B.C., ancient peoples used crude pens consisting of hollow straws or reeds that supported a short column of liquid. During the 500’s B.C., people began to make pens from the wing feathers of such birds as geese and swans. The shaft of the feathers was hardened, and the writing tip was shaped and slit to make writing easy. These feather pens were known as quill pens, and they were widely used until the development of steel-nib pens in the 1800’s. By the late 1800’s, inventors had perfected an early version of the fountain pen. This pen represented a major improvement over previous pens, because it featured an ink reservoir and a capillary feed. Earlier pens held only a small amount of ink at a time and had to be repeatedly dipped in ink. The First Fountain Pen In 1883, L. E. Waterman, an insurance salesman, purchased a writing contraption with its own ink reservoir. But when it leaked, ruining a sale, he got an idea for a better one and decided
