History of Aviation

Part 1

Aviation is defined as the design, manufacture, use, or operation of aircraft – in which the term aircraft refers to any vehicle capable of flight.

For centuries man has dreamed to fly with the birds. An ancient Greek legend tells us about Daedalus who was imprisoned by King Minos. With his son, Icarus, he made wings of wax and feathers. Daedalus flew successfully from Crete to Naples, but Icarus flew too high to the Sun. The wings of wax melted and Icarus fell to his death in the ocean.

The first form of an aircraft was the kite, designed in the 5th century BC. Later on in the 13th century, Roger Bacon, an English monk, performed studies which later gave him the idea that air could support a craft just like water supports boats. In the 16th century, Leonardo da Vinci studied birds' flight, and later produced the airscrew and the parachute. The airscrew, leading to the propeller later on, and the parachute were tremendously important contributions to aviation.

The first successful vehicle was lighter-than-air hot air balloon invented by the Montgolfier brothers. They used the smoke from a fire to blow hot air into a silk
bag. The silk bag was attached to a basket. The hot air then rose and allowed the balloon to be lighter-than-air.

In 1783, the first passengers in the colorful balloon were a sheep, rooster and duck. It climbed to a height of about 6,000 feet and traveled more than 1 mile.

After this first success, the brothers began to send men up in balloons. The first manned flight was on November 21, 1783.

Some of the most important developments in actual flight and stability occurred in the 19th century. British Sir George Cayley designed different versions of gliders that used the movements of the body. He also recognized that there would be a need for power if the flight was to be in the air for a long time. However the first person to design a glider that could fly a person and was able to fly long distances was a German engineer, Otto Lilienthal. He wrote a book on aerodynamics that was published in 1889 and used by the Wright Brothers as the basis for their designs.

Airships were originally called ¢dirigible balloons¢ and are still sometimes called dirigibles today. Airship design and advancement was pioneered by the German count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. Construction of the first Zeppelin airship began in 1899 and its first flight, on July 2, 1900, lasted for only 18 minutes. Although airships were used in both World War I and II, and continue on a limited basis to this day, their development has been largely overshadowed by heavier-than-air craft.

On December 17, 1903, at 10:35 a.m. in Kitty Hawk, the Wright brothers made the first heavier-than-air, machine-powered flight which lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Their ¢Flyer¢ became the first successful airplane.

Before World War I, airplane design greatly improved. Monoplane designs were rare, and when World War I began, huge biplane bombers with two to four engines were developed. The first four-engine aeroplane to fly was the highly successful ¢Russian Knight¢ biplane designed, built and flown by Igor Sikorsky in 1913.

History of Aviation

Part 2

The years between World War I and World War II saw great advancements in aircraft technology. Airplanes evolved from low-powered biplanes made from wood and fabric to high-powered monoplanes made of aluminum, based primarily on the work of Hugo Junkers during the World War I period and its adoption by American designer William Bushnell Stout and Soviet designer Andrei Tupolev. After World War I experienced fighter pilots were eager to show off their new skills, taking part in air races. Amelia Earhart was perhaps the most famous of those. She was also the first female pilot to achieve records such as crossing of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

During World War II, aircraft became a decisive factor in war. The largest operator of all international airlines in operation at this time was Pan American Airways. Aircraft production increased significantly.

After World War II and by 1947 all the basic technology needed for aviation had been developed: jet propulsion, aerodynamics, radar and commercial aviation had grown rapidly, using mostly ex-military aircraft to transport people and cargo. With all the new technologies developed by this time, airliners became larger, faster, and featured pressurized cabins. New aerodynamic designs, metals, and power plants would result in high-speed turbojet airplanes. These planes would later be able to fly supersonically and make transoceanic flights regularly.

USSR's Aeroflot became the first airline in the world to operate regular jet services on September 15, 1956 with the Tupolev Tu-104. The Boeing 707 and DC-8 which established new levels of comfort, safety and passenger expectations, introduced the age of mass commercial air travel. In 1969 Boeing put into operation the Boeing 747 – the largest commercial passenger aircraft ever to fly, which still carries millions of passengers each year, though it has been superseded by the Airbus A380.

The last quarter of the 20th century saw a change of emphasis. No longer was revolutionary progress made in flight speeds, distances and materials technology. This part of the century instead saw the spreading of the fly-by-wire systems and digital revolution both in flight avionics and in aircraft design and manufacturing techniques.

At the beginning of the 21st century, digital technology allowed subsonic military aviation to begin eliminating the pilot in favor of remotely operated or completely autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In October 2003 the first totally autonomous flight across the Atlantic by a computer-controlled model aircraft occurred.

Aviation has come a long way since its birth and now represents a very important industry. It is an industry touching every aspect of our lives, of our growth and our future. Civil aviation has developed to the point where it is now the largest and, in many ways, the most important segment of the whole transportation system, representing thousands of jobs, millions of dollars, the growth of thousands of cities, businesses, services and manufacturing facilities throughout the world.

Russian Aviation

Part I

Background

The origin of Russian aviation goes back to theoretical projects of the 1880s by pioneer Russian scientists such as Nikolai Kibalchich and Alexander Mozhaysky. During the 1890s aviation innovation was further advanced by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.

In 1904 Nikolai Zhukovsky established the world's first Aerodynamic Institute in Kuchino near Moscow.

In 1910 the Imperial Russian Army purchased a number of French and British aeroplanes and began training its first military pilots.

In August 1912 the Imperial Russian Air Service, formerly part of the Engineer Corps, became a separate branch of the army.

In 1913 Igor Sikorsky built the first four-engine biplane, the Russky Vityaz, and his famous bomber aircraft, the Ilya Muromets.

In the same year Dmitry Grigorovich built several 'M-type' flying boats for the Imperial Russian Navy.

In 1914 Russian aviator Jan Nagórski conducted the first ever flights in the Arctic looking for the lost expedition of polar explorer Georgy Sedov.

Russian air service

At the beginning of World War I, Russia's air service was second only to that of France (263 aeroplanes and 14 airships), although the bulk of its aircraft was too outdated to be of much use.

After the October Revolution of 1917 Russian Air Service was dissolved; more than 1300 aeroplanes became a basis of Workers' and Peasants' Air Fleet. More than two-thirds of those aeroplanes were foreign-made.

In spite of Russia's need for airframes and engines, only about 5,600 aeroplanes were built in Russia before October 1917.

Russian Aviation

Part II

Aeroflot and after

On March 26, 1932, the Civil Air Fleet was renamed Aeroflot, a word created by combining 'Aero' with 'flot', the Russian word for fleet. By that time, Aeroflot had about 200 aircraft.

In order to reduce its reliance on foreign aircraft, the Soviet government decided in 1935 to use only domestically designed transport aircraft for air service. By the mid-1930s, such Soviet workhorses as Kalinin's K-5, Tupolev's ANT-9, and Bartini's Steel-7 were in wide use by Aeroflot. One of the most spectacular Russian aircraft of the period was Tupolev's ANT-20, a giant six-engine airplane that could carry more than 70 passengers. One foreign aircraft that remained popular, despite the government order, was the American DC-3, which was license-built in Russia under the name Li-2.

Aeroflot had three main goals: to operate an air transport system; to provide different types of services such as aerial surveying, forest-fire fighting, and
agricultural spraying; and to promote educational, recreational, and athletic activities for the public. Aeroflot, in fact, represented all aviation activities in the country that were not military. Civil aviation in Russian in the 1930s remained, however, closely tied to the military.

By the beginning of World War II, Aeroflot was mainly a domestic freight carrier, but the Second World War had a major positive impact on the technical development of the aircraft and Aeroflot advanced into a very important airline with social, political and economic effects.

In 1991 after the disintegration of the USSR, Aeroflot fell apart into five hundred local carriers. It seemed that sound competition among the airlines could solve all the problems, but actually the violation of standards and recommended practices aggravated flight safety. The establishment of strict standards reduced the number of airlines to 227.

At present there are about 112 airlines in Russia and civil aviation is one of the most promising branches of the economy of our country.

В: Answer these questions.

1. When and where was the first regular passenger service opened in our country?

2. What air company performed the flights?

3. What aircraft did it use?

4. What year is considered to be the birth of Aeroflot?

5. Why did the Second World War have a positive impact on the development of aviation?

6. What happened to civil aviation in our country after the disintegration of the USSR?

History of Aviation

Part 1

Aviation is defined as the design, manufacture, use, or operation of aircraft – in which the term aircraft refers to any vehicle capable of flight.

For centuries man has dreamed to fly with the birds. An ancient Greek legend tells us about Daedalus who was imprisoned by King Minos. With his son, Icarus, he made wings of wax and feathers. Daedalus flew successfully from Crete to Naples, but Icarus flew too high to the Sun. The wings of wax melted and Icarus fell to his death in the ocean.

The first form of an aircraft was the kite, designed in the 5th century BC. Later on in the 13th century, Roger Bacon, an English monk, performed studies which later gave him the idea that air could support a craft just like water supports boats. In the 16th century, Leonardo da Vinci studied birds' flight, and later produced the airscrew and the parachute. The airscrew, leading to the propeller later on, and the parachute were tremendously important contributions to aviation.

The first successful vehicle was lighter-than-air hot air balloon invented by the Montgolfier brothers. They used the smoke from a fire to blow hot air into a silk
bag. The silk bag was attached to a basket. The hot air then rose and allowed the balloon to be lighter-than-air.

In 1783, the first passengers in the colorful balloon were a sheep, rooster and duck. It climbed to a height of about 6,000 feet and traveled more than 1 mile.

After this first success, the brothers began to send men up in balloons. The first manned flight was on November 21, 1783.

Some of the most important developments in actual flight and stability occurred in the 19th century. British Sir George Cayley designed different versions of gliders that used the movements of the body. He also recognized that there would be a need for power if the flight was to be in the air for a long time. However the first person to design a glider that could fly a person and was able to fly long distances was a German engineer, Otto Lilienthal. He wrote a book on aerodynamics that was published in 1889 and used by the Wright Brothers as the basis for their designs.

Airships were originally called ¢dirigible balloons¢ and are still sometimes called dirigibles today. Airship design and advancement was pioneered by the German count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. Construction of the first Zeppelin airship began in 1899 and its first flight, on July 2, 1900, lasted for only 18 minutes. Although airships were used in both World War I and II, and continue on a limited basis to this day, their development has been largely overshadowed by heavier-than-air craft.

On December 17, 1903, at 10:35 a.m. in Kitty Hawk, the Wright brothers made the first heavier-than-air, machine-powered flight which lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Their ¢Flyer¢ became the first successful airplane.

Before World War I, airplane design greatly improved. Monoplane designs were rare, and when World War I began, huge biplane bombers with two to four engines were developed. The first four-engine aeroplane to fly was the highly successful ¢Russian Knight¢ biplane designed, built and flown by Igor Sikorsky in 1913.
