Leonardo Da Vinci conceived of many aerial inventions centuries before their practical realization, including designs for an early helicopter, airplane, and parachute. While the materials and technology of his time prevented full construction, his concepts helped lay foundations for modern aviation. He created detailed designs for a flying machine powered by pedals, an anemometer to measure wind, and a large multi-person helicopter driven by hand cranks. Though some like the helicopter were likely not functional, Da Vinci's innovative ideas paved the way for aerial transportation we enjoy today.

Flying Machines!
The document discusses the history and key considerations of flying machine design. Leonardo Da Vinci was the first to study bird flight and design parachutes and ornithopters. His ideas led others to design planes with fixed wings that did not flap. The Wright brothers added propellers to pull air and curved wings to increase speed. Successful design requires considering factors like wing shape for lift, weight distribution, streamlined shape, and power source to move wings through air such as engines or gliding.

Leonardo da Vinci's Codex on the Flight of Birds
Leonardo da Vinci was a true Renaissance man who made significant contributions across many fields including art, engineering, science and more. While he was known as a famous painter during his lifetime, it was not until centuries after his death that the full breadth of his work was uncovered through the rediscovery of his notebooks. These codices revealed Leonardo's visionary ideas far ahead of their time, including in the area of human flight. One such codex, from 1505-1506, contained over 500 sketches and 35,000 words focused on bird flight and the possibility of human flight. This Codex on the Flight of Birds is now on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum alongside the Wright Flyer

Milestones in aviation history
The document summarizes milestones in early aviation history. It describes early attempts at flight dating back to 400 BC involving wooden pigeons and kites in China. In the 1500s, Leonardo da Vinci designed ornithopters but the attempts at flapping wings failed. In 1783, the Montgolfier brothers demonstrated hot air balloon flights up to 6000 feet but they lacked control. Later attempts added directional control through elongated balloons. In the 1890s, German scientist Otto Lilienthal conducted over 2500 flights with gliders, gaining insights until his death in a crash. The Wright brothers later built on this work to achieve the first sustained, controlled airplane flight.

Airplane meyer vinnova2012
The early development of airplanes from the 1860s to the early 1900s followed an open source model of innovation where experimenters openly shared designs, copied each others' work, and collaborated through publications, correspondence, conferences and clubs. This led to rapid technological progress as ideas spread widely and built upon each other. The Wright brothers were initially open source contributors but later transitioned to an industry model by enforcing patents. The open source practices of the pre-industry era helped establish the foundations of knowledge and networks that enabled the startup of the commercial airplane industry in the late 1900s and early 1910s.
The history
The camera obscura is an optical device that projects an upside-down image of a scene through a small hole, and was a precursor to the modern camera. Sir John Herschel contributed to early photography by inventing the cyanotype process, which produced blue prints using iron and potassium chemicals. Eadweard Muybridge created the first moving images by placing multiple cameras along a horse track to prove they lift all legs during gallop. Modern cameras evolved from these early innovations, including Kodak's popularization of film cameras in 1888 and the compact Leica camera introduced in 1925 using 35mm film.

Aviation lec 1
Aviation involves the design, development, production, operation, and use of aircraft. Early attempts at human flight involved attaching wings to the body to try to fly like birds, though these efforts were often unsuccessful due to limitations of human anatomy compared to birds. Significant milestones include Leonardo da Vinci's conceptual designs of flying machines in the 1490s, Otto Lilienthal's pioneering glider flights in the late 1800s, and the Wright Brothers' first successful powered and controlled flight in 1903. Commercial air transport of cargo began in the early 1900s and national airlines were established for cargo delivery in the 1920s.
History of aviation by ssk
- Aviation history began with myths of Daedalus and Icarus flying in Greek mythology, and kites being flown in China around 500 BC. Over centuries, various inventors experimented with balloons, gliders, and dirigibles in attempts to achieve human flight.
- In the early 1900s, the Wright Brothers succeeded in making the first sustained, controlled flights of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft. Their innovations led to rapid advances and the development of airplanes for transportation and war.
- During the 20th century, major advances included the jet engine and large commercial jetliners, allowing global air travel to flourish. Modern digital technologies including fly-by-wire systems have

The document discusses several key advancements in aeronautical engineering history. It describes the early pioneers of flight including George Cayley who invented the concept of the modern airplane and introduced ideas like fixed wings and horizontal and vertical stabilizers. It also discusses Otto Lilienthal and Octave Chanute who continued experimenting with gliders. However, the most significant advancement discussed was the invention of the jet engine, which revolutionized aeronautics by enabling vastly higher speeds and altitudes compared to piston engines. The jet engine required redesigning all aspects of airplanes to withstand the new pressures and temperatures. It also drove the development of new high-performance materials.
