Illustrated History of Human FlightThe following was a poster about the history of human flight:
[1. The flying element in myths and legends]
1. ** Ancient Egypt *
- The goddess Isis in ancient Egyptian mythology was depicted in ancient Egyptian bronze embossed paintings as flying in the air with her wings spread out. She was in charge of life, magic, marriage, and fertility. She used her wings to protect her subjects, which reflected the fantasy of flying in ancient Egypt.
2. ** Ancient Greece *
- The legend of Daedalus and his son Icarus. After they were imprisoned on the island by King Minos, Daedalus glued their feathers together and sealed them with wax to make wings. The father and son flew across the Aegean Sea. This was a mythical story about flight in ancient Greece.
** 2. Early Flight Trials **
1. [China]
- The kite was probably the first form of man-made airplane. It was said that it was invented by Mozi and improved by Lu Ban. The wooden kite made by Lu Ban could be used for communication and detection during war. It could also be used as a weapon for war.
- Sky Lantern (Kong Ming Lantern) was said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang. Its principle was the same as that of a hot air balloon. It used the buoyancy of hot air to lift the ball into the air. In ancient times, it was mostly used for military purposes, while modern people used it to pray. For example, the Mongols used dragon-shaped sky lanterns to transmit signals during the Battle of Lignitz.
2. ** Western "Flying Man" tries **
- In 1507, John Damian jumped from Stirling Castle in Wales and tried to fly, but he broke his thigh. There were also flying people who put on special cloaks and jumped from high places. Although these actions failed and even killed, they took the first step in human flight practice.
** 3. Development of aircraft **
1. ** Ornithopter **
- The appearance of the ornithopter after the 17th century was a major advancement in the history of aviation. It was in the transition stage from ancient flying people to gliders and airplanes. Da Vinci was the most famous figure among the researchers of the ornithopter. He left behind many research manuscripts and sketches about the ornithopter, including descriptions of the flying birds and gliding, as well as machine sketches.
2. ** Hot air balloon and airship **
- On November 21, 1783, the Mengerfei brothers made the world's first manned hot air balloon flight. They took off from the Bois-de-Boulogne in the west of Paris and flew for 25 minutes in the air before finally landing near the Place d'Alitalia in the 13th arrondisse of Paris. This was 120 years earlier than the Wright brothers 'flight.
- On July 2, 1900, the world's first airship, the Zeppelin LZ1, flew for the first time in Germany. Its take-off was recognized as the beginning of the "Golden Age of Airships." The Zeppelin airship also became synonymous with the rigid airship. After the technology matured, it promoted the development of large-scale airship.
3. ** Glider **
- Although the practical ornithopter was not actually manufactured, a glider was derived from the test process. Otto Lilindahl was the most important pioneer in glider research. He published Bird Flight as the Foundation of Aerospace, which analyzed the shape and structure of bird wings in detail and applied them to practical flight. He was also the first person to fly a fixed-wing glider more than 2000 times.
4. ** Powered aircraft related **
- On May 6, 1896, the American inventor Samuel Pierpont Langley conducted a successful test flight of an unmanned aircraft model "air station" on the Potomac River near Washington. The model aircraft catapulted off from the ship for about half a mile. This was the first sustained powered flight of an aircraft with a gravity greater than air.
- On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers of the United States had four test flights and flew into the blue sky with the "Flyer 1". Although the longest flight time only lasted 15 seconds and the flight distance was 66 meters, it was a major breakthrough in the history of human flight. It marked the dream of flying for thousands of years from a myth into reality.
