Question 1

Study of science, design, and manufactured flying
vehicles

Answer 1

Aeronautics

Question 2

The human activity that surrounds aircraft

Answer 2

Aviation

Question 3

is the mother of all invention, and
through the curious minds of the earliest investors,
we created the power to fly.

Answer 3

Curiosity

Question 4

made
wings out of feathers and wax

Answer 4

Daedalus

Question 5

flew too close to the sun resulting
in the melting of wax and fell to his doomed

Answer 5

icarus

Question 6

-Believed to have flown in China more than 2000
years ago.

Answer 6

Kite

Question 7

• Italian artist/inventor
• “There is in man [the ability] to sustain
  himself by the flapping of wings”
• Foresaw the parachute, helicopter and
  aircraft

Answer 7

Leonardo Da Vinci

Question 8

An aircraft that derives its lift by the flapping of
wings or oscillating about any axis but not by
rotating.

Answer 8

Ornitophter

Question 9

• An Italian Jesuit mathematician, naturalist
  and aeronautics pioneer
• Proposed a design for an airship lifted by
  spheres from which the air had been pumped
  out to create a vacuum. He wrote this design
  in his book entitled: Prodormo
• Designed a machine lighter-than-air ship

Answer 9

Father Francesco Lana de Terzi

Question 10

• French brothers (Joseph and Jacques
  Montgolfier) observed that heat of the fire
  propels paper upwards
• Made first manned flight November 21,
  1783 named Montgolfier Balloon carrying
  two passengers
• The first men to fly were air born for 25
  minutes, and they landed 5 miles from the
  take-off.

Answer 10

Montgolfier brothers

Question 11

• Made practical and theoretical progress
  towards heavier than air flight
• Through observation of bird flight, he saw
  that the secret to flight was not through
  flapping wings but steady wings capable of
  producing lift.
• In 1799, he had made practical and
  theoretical progress towards
  heavier-than-air-flight (Lift must balance
  weight and thrust must overcome drag)
• He saw the advantages of streamlining
• Importance of obtaining longitudinal and
  lateral stability (lift and drag)
• Elements of wing design
• “On Aerial Navigation” was published in
  the 19th century
• Thoughts of biplane & multiplane wings and
  the use of rudders and elevators for control.
• Recognized as the Father of Aeronautics
  because of his contributions to the first
  manned flight
