·         While Birds have been flying for millions of years, it's something relatively new to humans and we rely on some important scientific principles to achieve it. 

·         Beginning with simple kites, humans have moved on to develop gliders, airships, helicopters, commercial planes and even supersonic flight. 

·         Supersonic flight (breaking the sound barrier) is achieved when an object travels at a speed faster than sound (1235kph, 768mph). 

·         The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were American aviation pioneers who created the first successful airplane, thanks in part to their invention of 3-axis control, enabling the pilot to effectively control the plane. 

·         While a number of flight pioneers were working on their own powered flight at the time (including New Zealand's Richard Pearse) the Wright Brothers are widely credited with the first controlled and sustained human flight on December 17, 1903.

1. Car Is The Most Recycled Product In The World: 

Approximately 95% of the cars that have stopped working are recycled. Roughly 27 million cars are reprocessed every year. 

2. There Are Almost 30K Parts In A Car: 

An average car has as many as 30,000 parts in it. Imagine solving a puzzle out of so many units. Constructing a car is almost equivalent to that. When these parts are put together in the right places, it forms the car that we drive. Most of these units are recyclable, like the battery, oil filters, scrap metals and tires. 

 

 

 

·         There are 1 billion cars currently in use on earth.

·         About 165,000 cars are produced every day.

·         The "new car smell" is composed of over 50 volatile organic compounds.

·         It would take less than 6 months to get to the Moon by car95km/h).

 

·         The Wright brothers invented and flew the first airplane in 1903, recognized as "the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight". 

 

The automobile was first invented and perfected in GerFrance in the late 1800s, it all began with the horse. Or the the automobile as we know it was not invented in a single day by a single inventor. The history of the automobile reflects an evolution that took place worldwide involving many different innovators. Camel though Americans quickly came to dominate the automotive who invented the first car? It would probably be Karl Benz from Germany

How have planes changed over the years? A: ... Also, while the pilot of the 1903 Wright Flyer lay in the middle of the plane and used wing warping to control roll, planes today have seats and the ailerons control roll. Finally, some of the first planes weren't used to carry people, but instead to carry mail. 

 

Airplanes have changed in their size, engine systems, control systems, construction, and range and payload capabilities since the first powered aircraft took to the air in the early 20th century. 

 

Early airplanes often used wood and fabric for construction and featured two, or sometimes even three, wings. Between the two world wars, airplanes evolved into monoplanes and aluminum became the material of choice 

 

Planes have wings The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were American aviation pioneers who created the first successful airplane, thanks in part to their invention of 3-axis control, enabling the pilot to effectively control the plane. that feature an airfoil (aerofoil) shape, this is important as it helps overcome the effect of gravity pulling down on the plane. 

The oldest recovered boat in the world is the PeeseErectus lived through the Ice Age(s), a period of repeated glaciations, each lasting about 200,000 years, separated by warm spells. At the extreme, glaciers covered up to 30% of the world's land mass and tied up huge volumes of water resulting in the sea level dropping 100 m or more. This created temporary land passages between islands and continents. At some point, England was connected to Europe, Siberia to Alaska and parts of Indonesia linked to mainland Asia. 

In time, Erectus spread out of Africa into Asia, but as he did not wear clothes, he stayed close to the equator. Erectusreached the Indonesian archipelago as early as 800,000 years ago. We know this because stone tools dated to that period and typical of Erectus have been found on the Island of Flores - between Bali and Timor. Although Erectus could have reached Bali by trekking over land bridges; migration beyond Bali to Flores required a minimum of 10 important sea crossings of up to 100 km and could not have occured by accident [Ref1]. The conclusion is that Homo Erectus built seaworthy craft 600,000 years before the first Homo Sapiens appeared on earth 

 

Some examples of how planes have changed are the materials they're made from, how they're controlled, and what they're used for.

Orville and Wilburt wright are known for flying an air plaine  for the first time!! 

They are from ohio

Some trains are freight trains. They carry cattle, food, coal, lumber and other goods across the country 

Imagine yourself on a journey to exciting new places. It could be the pyramids of Egypt or the beaches of Hawaii. Today, we can hop on a plane to travel long distances. 

 

The first flight happened on December the 17, 1903. 

This plane was invented by the Wright brothers- Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright. The people who watched them fly were amazed as the flight stayed in the air for 12 seconds! That is amazing right? 

 

Way before this, at the time of 400 ad, the Chinese invented the kite the first flying object. In 1485, Leonardo Da Vinci (a famous painter) drew pictures of flying machines but, his ideas were not appreciated until 300 years later!

This is the history of planes...


 Gliders: the old-style gliders did not have a motor. A person would go to the top of a high cliff and jump off (he/she would be strapped below the glider's wings). Today, modern gliders have small engines to help them get off the ground and to extend the flying time.

Passenger Airplanes: these are designed to hold many people and travel all over the world.


Helicopters: these have huge blades on top of the body to created lift and motion. Helicopters usually only carry a few people at a time.

Jets and Fighter Planes: these are mostly used in the military and can reach speeds up to 2,574 kilometers-per-hour (1,600 miles-per-hour)!

Space Shuttles: these are purely for going into outer space. They are between an airplane and a rocket.


Paper Airplanes: made from ordinary paper and designed for pure fun.
 

Early airplanes often used wood and fabric for construction and featured two, or sometimes even three, wings. Between the two world wars, airplanes evolved into monoplanes and aluminum became the material of 

Early commercial planes, such as the DC-3, carried less than 50 passengers and had a range of less than 2,000 miles. However, newer passenger jets can carrmany more 

While aluminum is still used for the majority of airplane construction, modern aircraft use a significant amount of composite materials. For example, the Airbus A350 XWB uses composites for 50

 Orville and Wilbur Wright are credited with inventing the air plane

While the earliest boats date back approximately 10,000 years, they were simple vessels made from tying logs together or hollowing them out.  The first real ships are believed to have been created by the Ancient Egyptians, starting around 4000 BC and gradually developing into more complex vessels. They began as river boats, with a mast and sails, and grew into ships that could cover oceans. 

From the 2nd century onwards, the Chinese were making advances in their shipbuilding, with the creation of stern mounted rudders and water tight compartments. During this era, many countries saw the necessity of having a large fleet of ships for trade and battle The development of the compass in this period also made navigation far easier than it had previously been. 

The renaissance period saw new developments with multiple masts, bow and stern towers and a small and nimble Portuguese ship called a caravel.  Many ships increased their freeboard, allowing for a greater onboard artillery. This was seen in the growth of galleons, which were ships with multiple decks and a versatility that enabled them to be used as warships or for trading 

By about 5000BCE, there were sledges and there were animal "engines"—so the obvious thing to do was hitch them togetherThe next big step was to Every so often, steam from a boiler (a sort of gigantic coal-fired kettle) squirted into the space in the cylinder underneath the pistonadd wheels and turn sledges into carA car is like a cart with a built-in horse—a horse-less carriage that doesn't eat grass, wear shoes, or leave a steaming pile of muck wherever it goes. The engineers who set out to make the first cars had a big problem on their hands: how to squeeze the power of a galloping horse into a small, reliable engine. Lenoir died a miserable pauper because his engines, though revolutionary, were soon obsolete. Gas was a cleaner fuel than coal, but it wasn't practical—there was even a risk it would explode and kill people. Gasoline (a liquid fuel) proved to be a better bet, as German Nikolaus Otto (1832–1891) discovered. Otto was no scientific thinker—far from it: he was a traveling grocery salesman who taught himself engineering. During the 1860s, he tinkered with various engine designs and, in 1876, finally came up with a really efficient gasoline engine, which worked by methodically repeating the same four steps (or "strokes") over and over again. Virtually every car engine has worked the same way ever since. 

Did the wright brothers invent anything else? The wright brothers were pioneers in the area of flight. They did a  lot of work on aerodynamics, propellers and wing design. 

The Wright Brothers didn't stop with this first flight. They continued to perfect their craft. Around a year later, in November 1904, Wilbur took their newly designed airplane, the Flyer II, to the air for the first flight lasting over 5 minutes. 

 

 

 Besides that boats now are mostly used for entertainment purposes like fishing and hanging out with friends and family on the ocean. I believe boats in the future will be larger and more luxurious. when they figured this out they made changes and add thing to the ships. Most groups added sails so the ships could move faster

In 1893, the first running, gasoline-powered American car was built and road-tested by the Duryea brothers of Springfield, Massachusetts. Beginning in the 1770s, many people tried to make cars that would run on steam. Some early steam cars worked well, and some did not. Some were fire pumpers that moved by themselves, and others were small locomotives with road wheels. Beginning in the 1880s, inventors tried very hard to make cars that would run well enough to use every day. These experimental cars ran on steam, gasoline, or electricity. 

By the 1890s, Europeans were buying and driving cars made by Benz, Daimler, Panhard, and others, and Americans were buying and driving cars made by Duryea, Haynes, Winton, and others.  By 1905 gasoline cars were more popular than steam or electric cars because they were easier to use and could travel further without adding fuel. 

 

·         They are used for transportation, recreation, research and military purposes.

·         Engines provide the thrust needed to move a plane forward, overcoming drag and allowing the wings to create lift.

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

There have only been two commercial aircraft capable of supersonic transport, the most well known of these was the Concorde which flew between major cities such as London, New York and Paris until 2003
