Out of all of these achievements, flight has been the most influential and to some the most important. From the ancient times, man has desired the ability of flight and after the breakthrough of Orville and Wilbur Wright, mankind has prospered and explored the characteristics of flying. By advancing our knowledge of flight, we as a society have been able to determine where our futures individually lie. We can further break this down by realizing how helpful the ability to fly has been. In flight, travel has become more expedient, efficient, and cost effective; nations can now protect themselves by air defense and protect others as well, and by exploring space we have gained a knowledge greater than can be imagined, which will lead us into the unknown. As humanity approaches the centennial of flight, we, as a society, can only look in awe of the past 100 years of immense technological advances, especially in the field of
