They were American aviation pioneers generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful motor-operated airplane. They made the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft with the Wright Flyer, south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, at what is now known as Kill Devil Hills. The brothers were also the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.

Download or read book The EARLY HISTORY of the AIRPLANE -Illustrated- written by Orville and Wilbur Wright and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-10 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wright Brothers take you back in time to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1903 when their dream to defy gravity first became a reality. The first flight lasted only 12 seconds, but it was nevertheless the first in the history of the world in which a machine carrying a man had raised itself by its own power into the air in full flight, had sailed forward without reduction of speed and had finally landed at a point as high as that from which it started. Orville and Wilbur Wright describe in detail the aerodynamic experiments, the setbacks and the lessons they learned on their path that led up to the first flight. "The Early History of the Airplane" documents a significant period of the 20th century when man's long-time, burning desire to fly was finally fulfilled. A must read for history and aviation fans. "If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance."(Orville Wright)

Download or read book The Early History of the Airplane written by Wright Orville and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the subject of aerial navigation is generally considered new, it has occupied the minds of men more or less from the earliest ages. Our personal interest in it dates from our childhood days. Late in the autumn of 1878 our father came into the house one evening with some object partly concealed in his hands, and before we could see what it was, he tossed it into the air. Instead of falling to the floor, as we expected, it flew across the room, till it struck the ceiling, where it fluttered awhile, and finally sank to the floor. It was a little toy, known to scientists as a "helicoptere," but which we, with sublime disregard for science, at once dubbed a "bat." It was a light frame of cork and bamboo, covered with paper, which formed two screws, driven in opposite directions by rubber bands under torsion. A toy so delicate lasted only a short time in the hands of small boys, but its memory was abiding.
Book Synopsis An Illustrated History of Health and Fitness, from Pre-History to our Post-Modern World by : Roy J. Shephard
Download or read book An Illustrated History of Health and Fitness, from Pre-History to our Post-Modern World written by Roy J. Shephard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 1095 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the health/fitness interaction in an historical context. Beginning in primitive hunter-gatherer communities, where survival required adequate physical activity, it goes on to consider changes in health and physical activity at subsequent stages in the evolution of “civilization.” It focuses on the health impacts of a growing understanding of medicine and physiology, and the emergence of a middle-class with the time and money to choose between active and passive leisure pursuits. The book reflects on urbanization and industrialization in relation to the need for public health measures, and the ever-diminishing physical demands of the work-place. It then evaluates the attitudes of prelates, politicians, philosophers and teachers at each stage of the process. Finally, the book explores professional and governmental initiatives to increase public involvement in active leisure through various school, worksite, recreational and sports programmes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revisit the romantic age of aeronautics when the rapid development of balloons, dirigibles and airplanes changed the world forever. Archibald Williams wrote this entertaining and informative journey through the early days of air travel for readers of all ages in 1926, covering the earliest ascents in balloons through the Wright Brothers, trans-Atlantic flights. The special edition enlarged reprinting includes: - Enlarged 7" x 10" pages - Crisp digitally re-scanned and enhanced images - Bold new cover design - Author's original page layouts - Classic type font - English printing with illustration captions Chapter by chapter Williams chronicles the feats and failures of those legendary pioneers of flight with enthusiasm and an eye towards the future, where he envisions a time when a "machine will be able to alight vertically in a space no larger than the back garden of a small suburban villa, or on a flat roof." Enjoy an informative look at the earliest ascents of balloons, dirigibles, and the first crossings that made history. The rapid development of the mechanical airplane is covered with great interest, as is its application in commercial air travel, exploration, and warfare. For readers looking to enjoy a broad, illustrated overview of airplanes and the history of air travel, Conquering the Air is a delight to read. "We shall devote our attention first to the origin of the spherical balloons and to the most notable voyages made in them. Next, we shall see how the balloon was altered in form, provided with motive power of its own, and converted from a mere gas-container and a self-directing aerial ship. Then follows an account of the experiments which led to the production of the first practical flying machine; to be succeeded by a series of chapters devoted to those fights, of successively increasing length, which, as first exemplifying the conquest of the air the grand scale, may justly be termed epoch-making."
