|  | | Lessons from the Invention of the airplane and the Beginning of the Aviation Era | | No other concept had been dreamed about more than the ability of man to undertake powered flight. Ever since the Greek Mythology of Icarus and Daedalus, man has been on a great quest to discover the secret of flight and when man finally managed to fly, this discovery was to change the way he lived upon this Earth. Like the advent of the automobile, powered manned flight was not a single invention but a gathering together of necessary knowledge to allow flight to be possible. This knowledge began being collected by the Chinese who flew kites for the first time somewhere around 500 BC. | | | Autor | | Prof. Dr. Murray Hunter | | | | Artikel | | Fachbereich | | 2012 | | Wirtschaftsgeschichte |
