The furthest man-made aircraft
Voyager 1 was currently the furthest man-made aircraft. It was launched in 1977 and had been flying for 47 years as of September 2024. It had flown 24.5 billion kilometers at a speed of 17 kilometers per second. It would take about 30,000 years to completely fly out of the solar system.

What is the furthest man-made aircraft?
Currently, the furthest man-made aircraft was Voyager 1. It was launched in 1977 and had been flying for 47 years. It had flown about 24.5 billion kilometers at a speed of 17 kilometers per second (62,000 kilometers per hour). It was also the first man-made object to leave the solar system and enter interstellar space. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The earliest aircraft was from China
The earliest hot air balloon was China's Kongming Lantern, which could be regarded as the ancestor of hot air balloon aircraft. The earliest flight paddle was related to China's bamboo dragonfly, which was designed before Da Vinci and was the pioneer of propeller-type aircraft. The earliest use of jet propulsion aircraft was also in China. In ancient China, gunpowder was used to invent rockets. Moreover, China's Shenhuo Flying Duck was the world's first unmanned aircraft. Therefore, from the origin of many types of aircraft, many of the earliest inventions related to aircraft came from China. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

The earliest aircraft in ancient times
It is difficult to determine the earliest aircraft in ancient times, but there are many types of aircraft that are considered to be older. Ancient China kites were considered to be an early type of aircraft. Wooden kites appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. With the development of paper technology, paper kites began to spread. Through the generations, their production technology, materials, style, and performance continued to develop and change. In addition, it was said that Emperor Shun once used two large bamboo hats as wings to slide down from a granary. If the bamboo hat was seen as a tool similar to a parachute, this was also an early attempt at flight. The bamboo dragonfly, invented during the Spring and Autumn Period, had also been passed down for a long time and was considered by many to be the prototype of modern helicopters. There was also a record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas of flying cars made by the residents of the Qigong Kingdom. This kind of flying car could fly with the help of wind power, but its structure and working principle were unknown. Its authenticity was also controversial in the academic community, but it could also be the prototype of an early flying car. In addition, Luban also made flying machines during the Spring and Autumn Period. In foreign countries, there were records of Vimana in ancient Indian literature. It first appeared in two Indian epics as a means of transportation for the gods to travel in the air. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

The earliest aircraft in ancient China
The earliest use of flying machines in China historical records was related to the ancient leader Shun. Shun's stepmother and younger brother often slandered Shun's father, who wanted to harm Shun. Once, when Shun was repairing the roof of the barn, his father set the barn on fire. Shun used two big bamboo hats as wings and glided down from the barn to escape. Therefore, from a recorded point of view, the bamboo hat used by Shun could be regarded as the earliest object similar to the concept of aircraft in ancient China. In addition, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Mozi once wrote,"Cut bamboo into a kite and fly for three days without falling." There was also Gongshu Ban (Lu Ban) who wrote,"Cut bamboo into a kite and fly for three days without falling." Moreover, the wooden kite made by Lu Ban could carry people and fly thousands of miles. It could even take off and land vertically. It was also used for military reconnaissance. However, in terms of chronology, Shun's use of bamboo hats was recorded earlier.

Man-made aircraft's maximum speed
As of November 2024, the fastest known man-made aircraft was the Parker Solar Detector launched by the Americans in 2018. It reached the sun's perihelion on January 29, 2020 at a speed of 110 kilometers per second. According to the plan, the last time it passed the sun in its 6.4-year service time was only about 6 million kilometers away from the sun's surface. It was estimated to reach a speed of 200 kilometers per second and a speed of 720,000 kilometers per hour. This would once again set the fastest spacecraft speed record in human history.

The current top speed of man-made aircraft
The current top speed of man-made aircraft was created by the Parker Solar Detector launched by the Americans in 2018. On January 29, 2020, it reached the sun's perihelion at a speed of 110 kilometers per second, which was about 396000 kilometers per hour. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting.

Which country was the earliest aircraft in the world?
According to historical records, China was probably the first country to invent flying machines. There were many records of aircraft in ancient China. For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period,"Mozi cut bamboo into kites and flew for three days without falling." Gongshu Ban (Luban) also had records of aircraft manufacturing. The Classic of Mountains and Seas recorded that the Kingdom of Qigong could make flying cars. Kite was also invented in China, and it was regarded as the earliest aircraft in the world that could fly heavier than air. Although the Wright brothers in the United States successfully designed and manufactured an aircraft in 1903, achieving the power and maneuvering flight of heavier than air aircraft, China had invented aircraft related inventions earlier. In addition, the Arabs also tried to make wooden flying machines in the 9th century. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
