Early Flight
"Early Flight" refers to the initial attempts and achievements in human aviation, primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Pioneers like the Wright brothers made significant advancements, with their first successful powered flight occurring on December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This marked a crucial milestone in the development of modern aviation.
The era of early flight was characterized by experimentation with various aircraft designs, including gliders and powered planes. Innovations in materials and engineering led to improved flight capabilities. These early flights laid the groundwork for the future of aviation, influencing both commercial and military air travel.
