Aviation has its origins in prehistory when humans first imagined flying like birds. Over centuries, many pioneers attempted to build flying machines but it was not until the 1900s that the Wright brothers achieved the first successful powered flight. Since then, aviation has evolved rapidly with commercial flights beginning after World War 2 and modern aircraft like the Boeing 777 designed entirely using computer technology. Today there are over 4,000 planes in the air every hour, demonstrating how aviation has transformed global transport and become the safest mode of travel.

1. To go to the origin of aviation we must go
back to prehistory, when the desire to
imitate the flight of birds was born in a
man.
Aeronautics is an industry in
constant evolution and civil
aviation has already reached a
century of history.

2. Leonardo da Vinci was the first
person to seriously dedicate
himself to proyect a machine
able to fly. However, he never
built such machine.
In 1799, George Cayley, designed
a relatively modern glider, which
had a tail to control it, and a
place where the pilot could be
placed.

3. Between the 1900-1914
were the first flights in an
aircraft more heavier
than the air.
On November 7, 1910
the Wright brothers
made the first
commercial flight in the
world.
The flight lasted an
hour and ten
minutes, traveling
100 kilometers and
breaking a new
speed record,
reaching 97km / h

4. After the Second World War, (1945-1980)
commercial aviation began to develop
independently of military aviation.

5. On June 12, 1994, the Boeing 777
made its first flight, becoming the
first aircraft designed and planned
entirely with computers, and is
currently the largest twinjet
aircraft in the world.
And nowadays...

8. According to recent
studies, every hour there
are 4 thousand airplanes
in the air, which is
equivalent to 96 thousand
flights every day.
And nowadays
these flying
machines are
equipped with the
latest technology
and it is the safest
transport.
