This document provides a brief history of flight, beginning with early human desires to conquer the skies that motivated experimentation and invention. It discusses legends like Icarus and Pegasus from ancient Greek mythology that captured the human fascination with flight. Early flight technologies are mentioned, including kites and gliders invented by the Chinese as early as the 4th century AD. The document also highlights Leonardo da Vinci's pioneering work designing early flying machines and parachutes in the 15th century, though some credit the first successful parachute test to a later inventor in 1617.
4. BETWEEN HUMAN DESIRE AIR FLIGHT
conquest and economic interests
Besides human desire to discover and conquer new territories and
spaces it was motivated by the practical and material interest in the
individual needs of all mankind or new resources that underpin renovation
but researchers develop new economic activities / business leading to the
degree of technical development today. No one activity is not without
personal motivation first half by each of us want recognition for the effort
and work done. This happened with the human desire to conquer air and
outer space cosiderat after a few thousand years ago an unattainable
dream takes flight passionate people and made them invent the strangest
machines that get up in the air. Today for us to fly human success begins
with the legend of Icarus 1
And today, for us aspired man begins to fly
legend of Icarus ....

6. Ancient writings say that immediately after birth, Pegasus
ascended to heaven. That he was very loyal to Zeus, the supreme

22. Another invention in the flight which is ancient Chinese attribution
glider. If you already kites invented by i.Hr fourth century, by the end of the
sixth century the Chinese had managed to build kites with sufficient size and
aerodynamic enough to support the weight of an average-sized man.
Was only a matter of time
before someone thought to remove kite
strings to see what happens. Known
today as the glider aircraft that have
not been used by ancient Chinese as a
way to raise the level of adrenaline.
Chinese emperors feasted forcing
villains and enemies to jump on rocks
tied to gliders. however one another
and in terms of Chinese flight they took
so little to Europeans before 1335 years
23. Italian scientist Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) - famous architect and
painter, sculptor, engineer, writerer, mathematician and musician is the one who
designed, among other things, plans for a flying machine, like a helicopter
Now more than half a millennium
years, in the early XVI century, when Da Vinci
was already 50, he invented devices, weapons,
machines that prefigured those of modern
times. Renaissance genius made helicopters and
other aircraft with vertical takeoff and glider
ancestor.
24. The famous Renaissance Leonardo da Vinci thought besides
other fantastic machines to a device with which man can fly.
Carefully studying the flight of birds he designed a machine called
“orthoptera”. Had wings it would have to be moved while the
hands and feet of a man actually work impossible. Also glider
designed by Italian genius is the precursor to today's modern
aircraft.
Also glider designed by
the brilliant Italian is the
precursor of today's
modern aircraft.
25. But it is possible parachute
idea was not hers. Historian
Lynn White discovered an
anonymous Italian
manuscript around 1470 that
there are two drawings of
parachutes one of which is
very alike to Leonardo's
sketch. The first successful
test of such a parachute was
made in 1617 in Venice by
Dalmatian inventor Faust
Vrancea. Device was called
Homo Volans (Flying man)
Leonardo da Vinci was considered the first sketch made a parachute,
around 1480, he projecting a parachute shape of a pyramid with a square base,
with whom he said: "If a man has a starched canvas tent widely on each side of
12 cubits and 12 cubits high everything he can to give way to any height without
anything bad happen to them. "
