battlefield and determine the enemy's movements and position. One of the first major contributions of airplanes in the war was at the First Battle of the Marne where Allied reconnaissance planes spotted a gap in the German lines. The Allies attacked this gap and were able to split the German armies and drive them back. 
 As The first use of airplanes in World War I was for reconnaissance. The airplanes would fly above the the war progressed, both sides began to use aircraft to drop bombs on strategic enemy locations. The first planes used for bombings could only carry small bombs and were very vulnerable to attack from the ground. By the end of the war, faster long-range bombers were built that could carry a much larger weight of bombs. 

With more planes taking to the skies, enemy pilots began to fight each other in the air. At first, they tried throwing grenades at each other or shooting with rifles and pistols. This didn't work very well. Pilots soon found that the best way to shoot down an enemy plane was with a mounted machine gun. However, if the machine gun was mounted at the front of the plane, the propeller would get in the way of the bullets. An invention called an "interrupter" was invented by the Germans that allowed the machine gun to be synchronized with the propeller. Soon all fighter planes used this invention. With mounted machine guns, pilots often fought enemy pilots in the air. These fights in the air were called dogfights. The best of the pilots became famous and were nicknamed "aces.

A spacecraft is a vehicle or machine designed to fly in outer space 

Most spacecraft today are propelled by rocket engines, which shoot hot gases opposite to the direction of travel. Other forms of propulsion are ... Because of the very large amount of energy needed to leave the Earth's gravity, spacecraft are usually very expensive to build, rocket may be a missile, spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle which is pushed by a rocket engine. Some rockets are manned (e.g. Saturn V). Other rockets, for example missiles, are unmanned. ("Manned" means that a person is in it; “unmanned" means that the machine can go without a person.) Most rockets can be ...much, and operate. Plans for future spacecraft... 

One of the first devices to successfully employ the principles essential to rocket flight was a wooden bird The true rocket was born. The date reporting the first use of true rockets was in 1232. At this time, the Chinese and the Mongols were at war with each other. During the battle of Kai-Keng, the Chinese repelled the Mongol invaders by a The first rockets may have appeared as early as the 10th century Song dynasty China, however more solid documentary evidence does not appear until the 13th century. The technology probably spread across Eurasia in the wake of the Mongol invasions of the mid-13th century. Usage of rockets as weapons prior to modern rocketry is attested in China, Korea, India, and Europe. One of the first recorded rocket launchers is the "wasp nest" fire arrow launcher produced by the Ming dynasty in 1380. In Europe rockets were also used in the same year at the Battle of Chioggia. The Joseon kingdom of Korea made use of a type of mobile multiple rocket launcher known as the "Munjong Hwacha" by 1451.

 Mr. Lindbergh made the first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. He flew from New York to Paris by himself.1933The first passenger planes are made 
 
 Boeing made the 247 plane. It could seat up to 10 people.1939The first radars are developed 
 
 When WWII broke out, engineers began developing better equipment to help with the war. They developed airplane radars that could detect airplanes flying, even far away.1952The "area rule" is discovered 
 
 Pilots and engineers in California tested a theory called the area rule. Using it, they were able to make sleeker, faster airplanes without using bigger engines.1969The first larger passenger jets are made

and one can only dream what will come next! 

The date that made history was December 17th, 1903 when the dream of Orville Wright and his brother, Wilbur came true. Orville took to the sky in his first ever motor-powered aircraft. The airplane sputtered to life and flew 120 feet (36 meters) in only 12 seconds. People were astonished that their dream of flying was now being made possible. History of flying started way back in 400 A.D with the history of flying started way back in 400 A.D with the Chinese. They invented the kite, which got scientists thinking about wind currents and how they worked. In 1485, a famous painter (Leonardo Da Vinci) drew pictures of flying machines. However, it wasn't until much later when two brothers were successful in making the first flyable airplane Chinese.

Transport is the way in which things are carried from one place to the other. 

Humans and animals walked to travel from one place to other. 

In 1900’s, the first commercial motor car ‘Model T Ford’ was made in America. It was cheap and built in huge numbers. It could reach the speed of 64–72 km an hour. 

Aircraft wings feature a shape called an air foil which is designed to create lift as the plane moves through the air. 

Pilots usually control the plane from a cockpit located at the front of the fuselage. 

Airplanes are fixed-wing aircraft that are propelled through the air by engines. 

Boats are designed to float on water, whether it be in lakes, rivers or seas. 

The hull is the main body of a boat or ship. 

The large balloon on top is called an ‘envelope’. It holds hot air created by a heat source known as a burner. 

Trains can be powered by a variety of energy sources including steam, diesel and electricity. 

Early trains relied on ropes, horses or gravity. 

The lift and thrust of helicopters are provided by spinning rotors, usually featuring two or more blades. 

They are typically large vessels with a high number of crew. Nuclear submarines may have a crew of over 100. 

There are over one billion bicycles found throughout the world. 

 

a bus stop pulls about one hundred people to go to different locations like malls parks and all kind of places to go. And buses are very useful in London because in London you have to walk to much there because there are lots he stop and a number of people embark on a trip to and from different locations. 

Today's rockets are remarkable collections of human ingenuity that have their roots in the science and technology of the past. They are natural outgrowths of literally thousands of years of experimentation and research on rockets and rocket propulsion. 

One of the first devices to successfully employ the principles essential to rocket flight was a wooden bird. The writings of Aulus Gellius, a Roman, tell a story of a Greek named Archytas who lived in the city of Tarentum, now a part of southern Italy. Somewhere around the year 400 B.C., Archytas mystified and amused the citizens of Tarentum by flying a pigeon made of wood. Escaping steam propelled the bird suspended on wires. The pigeon used the action-reaction principle, which was not stated as a scientific law until the 17th century. 

About three hundred years after the pigeon, another Greek, Hero of Alexandria, invented a similar rocket-like device called an aeolipile. It, too, used steam as a propulsive gas. 

The Chinese began experimenting with the gunpowder-filled tubes. At some point, they attached bamboo tubes to arrows and launched them with bows. Soon they discovered that these gunpowder tubes could launch themselves just by the power produced from the escapBy the 16th century rockets fell into a time of disuse as weapons of war, though they were still used for fireworks displays, and a German fireworks maker, Johann Schmidlap, invented the "step rocket," a multi-staged vehicle for lifting fireworks to higher altitudes.

Engines provide the thrust needed to move a plane forward. Aircraft wings feature a shape called an air foil which is designed to create lift as the plane moves through the air.Pilots usually control the plane from a cockpit located at the front of the plane. Many other people experimented with flight, but it was until 1903 that the Wright Brothers built the first successful airplane. 

The car, automobile, motor car or autocar usually has four-wheels and is a vehicle that uses its own motor engine system to transport passengers over purposely built roads. 

Airplanes are fixed-wing aircraft that are propelled through the air by engines. 

The long, thin body of an aircraft is typically called 

Fuselage. 

Pilots usually control the plane from a cockpit located at the front of the fuselag 

Cars give people the freedom to travel where ever they want. 

The cars of today are the result of more than 120 years of developments and improvement.
