THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1783 First Human Flight On 5th June 1783, brothers Joseph and Étienne Montgolfier released the first balloon in the air in Annonay, a small town in France. Their craft rose to 6,000 feet and flew for ten minutes. Knowing that their balloon flight was safe, the Montgolfier brothers proceeded to build a giant envelope to fly the first people. Their objective was to find out whether it was impossible or dangerous in some ways for humans to fly.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1893 Zeppelin A Zeppelin is a type of rigid airship named after the German inventor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin who pioneered rigid airship development at the beginning of the 20th century. Zeppelin's notions were first formulated in 1874 and developed in detail in 1893. Zeppelins were first flown commercially in 1910 by Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-AG (DELAG), the world's first airline in revenue service. By mid-1914, DELAG had carried over 10,000 fare-paying passengers on over 1,500 flights.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1903 The Wright Flyer The Wright brothers — Orville and Wilbur — were two 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 on December 17, 1903. In 1904–05, the brothers developed their flying machine to make longer-running and more aerodynamic flights with the Wright Flyer II, followed by the first truly practical fixed-wing aircraft, the Wright Flyer III.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1909 Blériot XI The weird and wonderful Blériot XI is another plane to make aviation history back when it all began. In 1909, Louis Blériot used the plane to set the record for the first flight across the English Channel in a heavier-than-air aircraft.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1927 The Spirit of St. Louis Charles Lindbergh completes the first solo, nonstop transatlantic flight in The Spirit of St. Louis, traveling from New York to Paris, France.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1930 Trans Atlantic Flights The first Transatlantic flights take place, with PanAm and BOAC traveling from Newfoundland to Foynes, Ireland and vice verse.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1937 Hawker Hurricane Although the Supermarine Spitfire might be the most iconic of wartime planes, the Hawker Hurricane was actually the aircraft that did the most damage to the German Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. This aeroplane was so successful it went onto to fly and fight in all the major theatres of battle through World War II. There are now only 12 airworthy Hurricanes left in existence.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1941 Messerschmitt Me 262 Wartime necessarily forces the fastest innovations in technology and the German forces were certainly experts at creating cutting edge tech. The Me 262 was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. It first took flight in 1941, but didn't go into proper production and use until mid-1944.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1952 Commercial Air Travel On May 2, 1952, British Overseas Airways Corporation launched commercial air travel by jet, sending 36 passengers from London to Johannesburg on the de Havilland Comet, a four-engine aircraft.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1965 Aero Spacelines Super Guppy The Super Guppy was a version of the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser that had its fuselage adapted (lengthened, widened and inflated) in order to accommodate large and unusual cargo.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1969 The First Jumbo Jet Pan Am was the first customer to get a Boeing 747, taking delivery on Dec. 12, 1969.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1973 The F-16 Fighter The first YF-16 was rolled out on 13 December 1973. Its 90-minute maiden flight was made at the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1976 The Concorde The Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde was a British–French turbojetpowered supersonic passenger airliner that was operated until 2003.

It had a maximum speed over twice the speed of sound, at Mach 2.04, with seating for 92 to 128 passengers. First flown in 1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and operated for 27 years.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1981 The Space Shuttle A new era in space flight began on April 12, 1981, when Space Shuttle Columbia, or STS-1, soared into orbit from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1983 F-117 Nighthawk, The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is an American single-seat, twinengine stealth attack aircraft that was developed by Lockheed's secretive Skunk Works division and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF).

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1984 Grumman X-29 The Grumman X-29 was an American experimental aircraft that tested a forward-swept wing, canard control surfaces, and other novel aircraft technologies. The X-29 was developed by Grumman, and the two built were flown by NASA and the United States Air Force.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1985 Antonov An-225 Mriya The Antonov An-225 was initially developed as an enlargement of the Antonov An-124 to transport Buran-class orbiters. The only An225 airplane was completed in 1988. After successfully fulfilling its Soviet military missions, it was mothballed for eight years. It was then refurbished and re-introduced, and is in commercial operation with Antonov Airlines carrying oversized payloads.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1989 B-2 Stealth Bomber The iconic Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, (aka the Stealth Bomber) first took to the skies in 1989. Only 21 of these unmistakable crafts would ever be built. Costing around $2 billion each, these bombers made use of stealth technology and were capable of carrying up to 80 JDAM bombs or 16 B83 nuclear bombs.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 2005 Airbus A380 The Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988 and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long haul market. The first prototype was unveiled in Toulouse on 18 January 2005, with its first flight on 27 April 2005.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 2009 Solar Impulse This gargantuan aeroplane is a long-range solar-powered aircraft designed by the Swiss that first took flight in 2009. The design of this plane was privately financed and is thought to have cost around $170 million.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 1996 Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor Only 195 F-22 Raptors were built from 1996 until 2011, but the program is estimated to have cost close to $70 million. The Raptor has since been replaced by the F-35 Lightning, but it's still a marvel of aeronautical design.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 2020 The Flying V Although technically in the early stages of development and not a real aircraft just yet, the Flying-V may well represent an important future aeroplane design that could change the way we fly. This is a new design currently being funded by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

The design is intended to create a more fuel efficient aeroplane which will use "20 per cent less fuel than the Airbus A350-900" while still being able to seat around the same number of passengers.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION 2020 The Virgin Galactic Virgin Galactic is developing commercial spacecraft and aims to provide suborbital spaceflights to space tourists. SpaceShipTwo, Virgin Galactic's suborbital spacecraft, is air launched from beneath a carrier airplane known as White Knight Two.
