Slide 2

Question 1

• Steam engines were used in this era.
• Thought of incorporating the steam engine
  into a flying machine.
• He patented an Aerial Steam Carriage that
  carries letters, goods, and people**.
  Unfortunately, the machine was incapable of
  flight because it had insufficient power from
  its heavy steam engine to fly.
• His work contributed to the transition from
  glider experimentation to powered flight
  experimentation.

Answer 1

Willia henson

Question 2

**Designed an airship powered by a steam engine

Answer 2

(1852) Henri Giffard

Question 3

first powered and steerable
airship to fly by using coal gas.
- Flew at 17 miles in September 1852.

Answer 3

Giffard dirigible

Question 4

• He was the originator of the use of twisted
  rubber to power model aircraft.**
• He designed a full-sized aircraft.

Answer 4

Alphonse Penaud

Question 5

• He observed that before launching such
  machines, it is vital to learn how to fly first.
• He began to conduct studies of the forces
  operating on wings in a stream of air in the
  late 1870’s.
• With that, he built a series of gliders and
  flew them from a hill outside Berlin.
  Observations:
• Controlled gliders by shifting body weight
• Precise wing shape that would give him
  maximum lift through test equipment.
• “Bird Flight As The Basis of Aviation” a
  book published. It contains
  series of articles that provided a foundation
  for the final effort to achieve mechanical
  flight.
• He recognized the superiority of curved
  wing surfaces and eventually developed a
  theory of flight and designed and built a
  series of gliders.
• In 1891, he successfully flew the first
  practical glider with well-documented,
  repeated, successful flights.
• In 1896, killed when one of
  his gliders crashed.

Answer 5

(1889) Otto Lilienthal

Question 6

-With the use of a trussing system, he was able to
stack several wings to achieve extra lift without
increasing weight.

Answer 6

((1896) Octave Chanute

Question 7

• most influential of all flying
  machines which also provided the Wright brothers a
  starting point for their own structural designs. Braced
  multiple design.

Answer 7

-Chanute Glider

Question 8

-He designed, built, and flew the first practical
dirigible, demonstrating that routine, controlled flight
was possible (In short, he was able to fly the first
dirigible that could be controlled).
-Circle Eiffel Tower in an airship.

Answer 8

(1901) Alberto Santos-Dumont

Question 9

. They made the first powered,
sustained, and controlled flight in a heavier-than-air
flying machine.
- 59 seconds travelling at a distance of 260km

Answer 9

(1903) Wright Brothers (Orville and
Wilbur)

Question 10

-He made the** first powered heavier-than-air flight** in
Europe
-”14-bis” also known as “Bird of Prey”
-Flew 220m or 722 feet on November 12,1906

Answer 10

(1906) Alberto Santos-Dumont
