<p>AlexanderM: replying to TK</p> <hr /> <div>== Expanding? ==<br /> <br /> I propose expanding this article to include a general history of aviation. Anyone care to help, please jump on in![[User:Turbine|◄Turbine►]] 09:29, 3 August 2009 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :Perhaps instead of creating a new article, our existing, mere stub [[Aviation]] should be expanded, and the content here merged into it? --[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]&lt;sub&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;/Admin&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]&lt;/sup&gt; 10:20, 3 August 2009 (EDT)<br /> ::Agreed! I will copy content from here to [[Aviation]]...we can always create a separate Aircraft article at a later date if Aviation becomes very large.I'm a bit busy with work at the moment, but I'll do what I can when I get the time![[User:Turbine|◄Turbine►]] 07:49, 4 August 2009 (EDT)</div>

<p>AlexanderM: Adding early days of aviation, expanding article</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Helicopter.jpg|400px|right]]<br /> '''Aircraft''' are machines that locomote through the atmosphere. The earliest aircraft were [[kite]]s and [[hot air balloon]]s. [[Dirigible]]s filled with hydrogen proved airworthy, but there was always the problem of combustion (see [[Hindenburg disaster]]). <br /> <br /> Rapid flight is made possible with a wing shape which forces the air over the wing to move faster than the air underneath. This creates a difference in air pressure, and with enough wing area a pressure differential of even one pound per square inch can add up to enough force to keep a [[glider]] in the air. The only problem then is that gliders must soon return to the earth. For an extended flight, something must pull the aircraft through the air.<br /> <br /> Many attempts were made to achieve heavier-than-air flight (outside of balloons) towards the end of the 19th century, in Europe and America. However, even when engines became powerful enough to pull an airplane through the sky, the problem was control. The [[Wright Brothers]] solved this problem by realizing that twisting the wings would control the ''[[roll]]'' of the aircraft.<br /> <br /> ==The Early Days of Aviation==<br /> [[Leonardo da Vinci]], via dissection and analysis of the anatomy of birds, was among the various [[Renaissance]] scientists to explore flight. [[Otto Lilienthal]] &lt;ref&gt;http://www.lilienthal-museum.de/olma/ehome.htm&lt;/ref&gt; instigated the modern era of heavier-than-air flight. The [[Wright Brothers]], through research into wing section and planform design &lt;ref&gt;http://nasm.si.edu/wrightbrothers/index_full.cfm&lt;/ref&gt; succeeded in 1903 in the first heavier than air powered flight.<br /> <br /> ==Modern Aircraft==<br /> Modern aircraft are generally largely aluminium semi-monocoque structures.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Transportation]]</div>
