Aircraft controls now in use are the same as established by Glenn Curtiss. The Basic Principles of Flight have not changed. Flight controls as used by the Wrights became obsolete within a few years.
There have been many variations of the airplane since the 9th century, but the most well known the Wright brothers' in 1903. There are now many types of airplanes, such as jets, passenger carriers, and military airplanes.
Well, if you want a certain TYPE of paper airplanes, and how many are there of that type, ask that. There is no real answer. A paper airplane is probably being made right now!
No, Abraham Lincoln died in 1865 the airplane was invented in 1903
it is called airplanes
Now, this is a short OrationThe Greatest American Invention:The AirplaneBy Jae-Wook Did you ever hear and see an airplane in the clear blue sky? Did you ever wonder how it was made or what is was? Well I'll tell you. In my opinion I think the greatest American invention is the airplane. The reason I think the airplane is the greatest American invention is that the airplane helps us go over long distances in a short amount of time. The airplane accomplished the dream that humans have pursued for a long time. The airplane also has been used for transportation. The airplane has been used in various wars to attack and defend against enemies. I think the airplane inspired people to go to outer space. Before the airplane was invented people used ships and wagons drawn from horses for transportation. It took hours, days, weeks, months, and even years to get somewhere far. For example a steamboat to France would take a few months but with the airplane it would only take a few hours. It was on the morning of December 17th, 1903 that the Wright brothers flew the first motor powered airplane. Orville Wright piloted the Flyer #2 while his brother Wilbur Wright timed the airplane. After that people tried to make airplanes go faster, go more distances, and fly at a higher altitude. Then in wars fighter airplanes were used to attack and defend against enemies. Airplanes were then and now used for military and civilian purposes. There are many reasons why I chose the airplane. I like the airplane because we can go farther in less amount of time. This is a benefit because people can see each other quickly and attend business faster. The airplane gives aid for countries that experienced a disaster. It put out fires before anyone is hurt. The airplane transports our troops into war quickly, defends our country, and gets our troops out of hostile areas quickly. The airplane gets people from one place to another safely and quickly. Another reason I chose the airplane is that without the airplane we would have never gone to space and still be riding cars and boats. Do you think that we would have even thought about going to space without the invention of the airplane? The airplane has made an impact to the world in many ways. First the airplane inspired humans to go to outer space. Second it helps us reach places where cars and boats can't. Airplanes have been used for mail, passenger, and reconnaissance. There are now airplanes that go faster than the speed of sound. There are stealth and vertical landing and takeoff airplanes. Everyday people are making new airplanes and improvements. From the Wright brothers achievement we look at our high tech and advanced aircraft. What is an airplane you may ask? An airplane is anything that flies. Gliders, airships, airlines, fighters, bombers, and spaceships are all types of aircraft. An airplane must have wings, body, a tail, and a rocket or propeller in order to fly. The faster an airplane goes the more slanted its wings have to be. Although the Wright brothers flew the first motor powered airplane Leonardo Da Vinci was the first one to design and aircraft but is was unknown whether they were built and tested. Helicopters are also aircraft. In conclusion and by giving you proof you can see that the airplane is the most important and greatest invention in American history. Airplanes have made a huge impact to the human society. Without airplanes we would just wonder what is in space. Airplanes have many jobs and types. Airplanes are used for defense, offense, military, and civilian purposes. Airplanes are what I think the greatest American invention. p.s: Your Welcome p.p.s I, Ralph Daniel Jacob, forbid you to use this in school if youre in Philippines and your in Cavite City Because Ill be the one who will report this to Mam Bernal! hahaha!
The Wright Flyer was the first heavier-than-air powered airplane. It is now in the Smithsonian Museum.
Many websites online now provide video or text tutorials on how to make model airplanes. Useful tutorials include http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnbMewvs_SY, http://www.model-airplanes.net/building-airplanes/how-to-build-a-model-airplane/ and http://www.wikihow.com/Build-Model-Airplane-from-Scratch

Airplanes have changed by becoming faster, larger, and more usable. Airplanes can be used for alot of things now other than just flying one person around. They can be used for war, transportation, and many other things. The engines have become more powerful, they have acquired more seats, and have been built to have a variety of uses in one single aircraft.
The answer to this question is a matter of some fairly simple physics which I will try to explain to you. First, you need to understand that most paper airplanes are not really airplanes. Airplanes fly because the shape of the wing produces lift; paper airplanes mostly fly as projectiles, meaning that they fly because you throw them. The first reason that the lighter airplane might not fly as far is in the design. Typically, the lighter paper airplane will have larger wings, and therefore, more drag. Since it is virtually impossible to make the paper airplane perfectly symmetrical, one of the wings has more drag which causes the airplane to spin and crash short of its maximum possible distance. The second reason is also related to the design. If you have a light airplane with more drag and a heavy airplane with less drag, the heavy airplane can fly much more easily. This is because the heavier airplane has less drag as well as more momentum to "push" through the air. On this note, a piece of paper crumpled into a ball will fly further than most paper airplanes I have seen just because is has lots of mass for the level of drag it induces. The crumpled piece of paper also will probably fly much straighter that the paper airplane too, just because it is fairly uniform in shape. At this point, we are completely ignoring lift; but at such a small scale with such light material, it works better that way due to the reasons above. Of course, if you put engines and control surfaces on the paper structure, you change the game entirely. Now it has to fly with lift instead of as a projectile otherwise it will crash because it has no control. This explains why real airplanes are not just big balls of metal.

There is 29 crashes in 2008 but now there is like 15 crashes in 2017Thanks
