Description
Aviation has a long and tumultuous history, beginning as early as 3500 BCE. The first records of human interest in flying began with historical myths and lore. From early attempts to imitate the flight of birds, to a gradual understanding of the forces that affect the ability to rise and remain above the earth, it’s a fascinating story of man’s determination to fly. This course will examine the development of aviation, the people who played major roles, the problems, the set-backs and the marvelous successes in both commercial and military aviation….and today, poised for major space break-throughs.
