Transformation
In Design
The Wright Brothers first airplane.
The airplanes we know today.
Humans always wondered how
birds fly. We look and steal the movement and ideas to make our comfortable way
of traveling as the most common example the ships and boats. We took the shapes
of duck, swans and other things that float and transfer them into something we
could use. As we come to airplanes where others use to look at birds how they
fly and study them are the Wright brothers where they studied hard the
principles of flying. Before all the inventions of the airplanes they had
already been producing new stuff as bicycles. Their first observational about
flight was around 1900. After some times they came up with kite models, life
size kites to hold up a human, and three years later they managed to build an
airplane that can hold a person. This was build with wood and metal structure
and fabric wings. They managed to make an engine and controllers for the
adjustable wings whether to get higher or lower. This was their first
successful flight with a pilot and it flew for 12 seconds and landed without
any damages. A year after they upgraded their airplane and hold the pilot that
was Wilber Wright for about five minutes in the air.
Today more than a hundred
years the technology in airplane increased a lot. Nowadays airplanes can carry
many people with a large amount of weight, long distances, speed, smoothness,
higher and much more. Today most of the airplanes have their engine on each
side of the wing, other may have more motors running it depends what it is
caring and for what it is used. There are models of airplanes, ones that carry
passengers, others for war, carrying objects, private jets and hotels in
planes. There are a lot of types all finished with a high technology and
security.
