Wright brothers

In my opinion, the dodge brothers are two great, American innovators who deserve admiration. The Dodge brother worked through much tragedy in their short, unfortunate lives, and made many breakthroughs in the auto industry, impacts that last to this day. From loosing kids(1), to both dieing below the age of 30(2), they had very tragic lives. However, they defied odds and made a lasting name in the auto industry. First off, the brothers faced growing up in poverty. In their early life, the…

The ability to fly has been available for many generations. The first flight by man was by Wilbur and Orville Wright. Even though it only lasted for a few seconds, flight has made life easier. Now, airplanes can transport people and goods over large bodies of water and land, and even make war easier (and harder) to win. With flight, lives have been changed, and the four forces, angle of attack, Bernoulli's Principle, and lift come to work when an airplane flies! There are four forces that…

While developing the first motorized aircraft the Wright brothers faced many problems and challenges, but they overcame them. Have you ever had a day where nothing goes right. You have to wait for hours, you break things, get sick, stormy weather, or your plans get canceled? The Wright brothers felt like that most of the time while they created the first airplane, but they had a growth mindset and overcame those problems. They encountered terrible weather, they had to wait days up to months for…

Sargent Johns, one of the JROTC instructors at TJ, took a small yet adventurous trip to Centennial Airport where he was invited to take a thrilling Airplane ride. Students attending Thomas Jefferson also have a great opportunity to The Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum. Sergeant Johns was selected from a group of teachers who were entered into a raffle to win the chance and ride in a vintage 1948 Stearman Biplane. When asked about his flight in the Stearman Biplane Johns said, “Believe…

A Research Proposal: Aviation industry in World War I INTRODUCTION Thesis Statement: The transformation of the aviation industry in World War I influenced the evolution of aircraft development, and what influence the aviation industry had during World War I. I have always been fascinated with history and aviation, and how aviation has evolved in such a relatively short period of time and the dramatic effect flight has had on changing the world. I have worked in the aviation field most of my…

Charles Lindbergh, the flyer that we would never expect in history. Planes were the thing of the century. Those who could fly planes were known as the “cool” people. Many flyers were daredevils, delivery people, and even part of the U.S. Army. One day, Raymond Orteig,owner of the Lafayette Hotel made a challenge for those airmen. The challenge was to see the first that could fly from New York, to France. The prize money for the winner was $25,000. A journey like that would be more than dangerous…

Cessna Skyhawk single-jet planes, first built in 1956 by Clyde Cessna, were very profitable in the 1980’s. However, with a downturn in the aviation business during the following 15 years, Cessna was unable to produce enough profit to sustain production of the Skyhawk and similar piston-engine planes and stopped production. Stopping production also resulted in Cessna laying off 75 percent of their employees. Fortunately, Skyhawks are not the only aircrafts that Cessna builds and they were able…

“According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyways. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible,” (Bee). This popular quote exemplifies the supposed impossibility of flight; it was utterly unthinkable until the late nineteenth century. Humans have been fascinated with the idea of flight since the dawn of time. There is evidence of this…
