History of Flight Leonardo da Vinci conceives the ornithopter and leaves more than 500 sketches of his design, drawn from 1486 to 1490. However, this approach to flight proves to be unsuccessful over the ensuing centuries

5History of Flight At 1799, Sir George Cayley in England engraves on a silver disk his concept of a fuselage, a fixed wing, and horizontal and vertical tails. He is the first person to propose separate mechanisms for the generation of lift and propulsion. He is the grandparent of the concept of the modern airplane.

History of Flight Otto Lilienthal designs the first fully successful gliders in history. During theperiod from 1891 to 1896, he achieves more than 2000 successful glider flights. If he had not been killed in a glider crash in 1896, Lilienthal might have achieved powered flight before the Wright brothers.

6History of Flight Samuel Langley, achieves the first sustained heavier-than-air, unmanned,
powered flight in history with his small-scale Aerodrome in 1896. However, his attempts at manned flight are unsuccessful, the last one failing on December 8, 1903 just nine days before the Wright brothers' stunning success.

History of Flight In December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright achieve the first controlled, sustained, powered, heavier-than-air, manned flight in history. This flight is to revolutionize life during the 20th century.

Aerospace vehicles
Atmospheric vehicles such as airplanes and helicopters, which always fly within the sensible atmosphere
space vehicles such as satellites, the Apollo lunar vehicle, and deep-space probes, which operate outside the sensible atmosphere (space).

It passed by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It is now 10 billion Km from earth and still going. Communication ended in 2003.
